Fancd2 functions in a double strand break repair pathway that is distinct from non-homologous end joining.

Abstract excerpt

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a multigenic recessive disease resulting in bone marrow failure and increased cancer susceptibility. Cells from FA patients and mouse models are sensitive to DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) and FA mice are moderately sensitive to ionizing radiation (IR). Both kinds of damage induce DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). To date, nine genes in 11 complementation groups have been identified;...
