
Autosomal recessive
Affects 1/100,000
Bone marrow disease
Loss of blood cells
Seen before age 12
Symptoms
 Abnormal heart, lungs, and
kidneys
 Bone problems
 Abnormal hands
 Pigment changes in skin
 Can lead to AML
 Squamous cell carcinomas

Fanconi's Anemia Cells
 Elevated apoptosis
 Prolonged G2 phase
 Chromosome instability with telomere shortening
 Sensitivity to DNA interstrand crosslinks

FANCD2 and the
FA
NCC
 Tumor Suppressor
 Highly conserved
 Primary role: recruit
FANCD1/BRCA2
 FA proteins;
FANCA/B/C/E/F/G/L =
nuclear core complex,
NCCFA
 The NCCFA complex
stabilizes replication forks

FANCD2 Pathways

Knockout Mice
 Fancd2 -/ Viable
 Sensitive to Mytomycin C
 Developmental delay
 More severe phenotype
than other FA mutants
 High incidence of tumor
development
 Do not develop Anemia
 Not due to ATM-dependent
S-phase checkpoint

The Big Picture
Testing
Treatment
 Chromosome breakage test
 Regular blood count checks
 Complete blood count test
 Growth factors
 Bone marrow biopsy
 Bone marrow transplant
 Anti-biotics
 Blood transfusions

Review
 FANCD2 serves two purposes:
 Stalls the replication fork to recruit BRCA1 to repair
interstrand crosslinks in DNA
 To arrest cell in S-phase
 If FANCD2 mutated:
 Hypersensitive to DNA crosslinks with high rate of apoptosis
– anemia
 Avoid apoptosis creates clones with cytogenic defects–
cancer especially AML
