Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fanconi anaemia (FA) is a rare syndrome characterized by bone marrow failure, malformations and cancer predisposition. Chromosome fragility induced by DNA interstrand crosslink (ICL)-inducing agents such as diepoxybutane (DEB) or mitomycin C (MMC) is the 'gold standard' test for the diagnosis of FA. OBJECTIVE: To study the variability, the diagnostic implications and the clinical impact of chromosome...
