Abstract excerpt
Mutations in genes controlling the correct functioning of the replicative, repair and recombination machineries may lead to genomic instability. A high level of spontaneous chromosomal aberrations amplified by treatment with DNA cross-linking agents is the hallmark of Fanconi anemia (FA), an inherited chromosomal instability syndrome associated with cancer proneness. Two of the eight FA genes have been cloned...
