Abstract excerpt
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic disorder characterized by a defect in DNA interstrand crosslink (ICL) repair, chromosomal instability, and a predisposition to cancer. Recently, two RAD51 mutations were reported to cause an FA-like phenotype. Despite the tight association of FA/HR proteins with replication fork (RF) stabilization during normal replication, it remains unknown how FA-associated RAD51 mutations...
