Abstract excerpt
Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous autosomal recessive disorder defined by a cellular hypersensitivity to DNA cross-linking agents. One of the FA genes, FAC, has been cloned and the genomic structure of the coding region has been characterized. We have developed amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) assays for five known mutations in FAC, and have applied these assays...
