Optimised molecular genetic diagnostics of Fanconi anaemia by whole exome sequencing and functional studies

Abstract excerpt

Purpose Patients with Fanconi anaemia (FA), a rare DNA repair genetic disease, exhibit chromosome fragility, bone marrow failure, malformations and cancer susceptibility. FA molecular diagnosis is challenging since FA is caused by point mutations and large deletions in 22 genes following three heritability patterns. To optimise FA patients’ characterisation, we developed a simplified but effective methodology...
