Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells from a transplanted, asymptomatic patient with Fanconi anemia exhibit an aging-like phenotype and dysregulated expression of genes implicated in hematopoiesis and myelodysplasia.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AIMS: Fanconi anemia (FA) is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome caused by defects in the repair of DNA inter-strand crosslinks and manifests as aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia. FA also causes defects in mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) function, but how different FA gene mutations alter function remains understudied. METHODS: We compared the growth,...
