Abstract excerpt
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetically heterogeneous disease characterized by developmental defects, progressive bone marrow failure and cancer susceptibility. Cells derived from patients with FA show spontaneous chromosomal aberrations and hypersensitivity to cross-linking agents, indicating a cellular defect in DNA repair. Among the 12 FA genes, only FANCD2, FANCL and FANCM have Drosophila homologs. Given this...
