Tree Number(s): C15.378.050.085.080.280; C15.378.190.223.500.500.280; C16.320.077.280; C18.452.284.280
Unique ID: D005199
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D005199
Annotation: do not confuse with FANCONI SYNDROME, a dysfunction of proximal renal tubules
Scope Note: Congenital disorder affecting all bone marrow elements, resulting in ANEMIA; LEUKOPENIA; and THROMBOPENIA, and associated with cardiac, renal, and limb malformations as well as dermal pigmentary changes. Spontaneous CHROMOSOME BREAKAGE is a feature of this disease along with predisposition to LEUKEMIA. There are at least 7 complementation groups in Fanconi anemia: FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, and FANCL.
