Fanconi anemia (FA) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder that causes genomic instability. Characteristic clinical features include developmental abnormalities in major organ systems, early-onset bone marrow failure, and a high predisposition to cancer. The cellular hallmark of FA is hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents and high frequency of chromosomal aberrations pointing to a defect in DNA repair (summary by Deakyne and Mazin, 2011).
Patients with FANCB mutations often present with multiple additional congenital anomalies, including the constellation of features designated VACTERL-H, for vertebral defects, anal atresia, tracheoesophageal fistula, esophageal atresia, radial or renal dysplasia, and hydrocephalus. Many patients with these features die in early infancy before developing anemia (McCauley et al., 2011).

MalaCards based summary : Fanconi Anemia, Complementation Group B, also known as fancb, is related to fanconi anemia, complementation group a and deficiency anemia, and has symptoms including low-set ears, abnormal vertebral morphology and anemia. An important gene associated with Fanconi Anemia, Complementation Group B is FANCB (Fanconi Anemia Complementation Group B), and among its related pathways/superpathways are DNA Double-Strand Break Repair and Chks in Checkpoint Regulation. The drugs Peginterferon alfa-2a and Ribavirin have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include bone, bone marrow and lung, and related phenotypes are Decreased Sindbis virus (SIN) capsid and autophagosome LC3 protein colocalization and Decreased Sindbis virus (SIN) capsid and autophagosome LC3 protein colocalization UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 71 Fanconi anemia complementation group B: A disorder affecting all bone marrow elements and resulting in anemia, leukopenia and thrombopenia. It is associated with cardiac, renal and limb malformations, dermal pigmentary changes, and a predisposition to the development of malignancies. At the cellular level it is associated with hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, chromosomal instability (increased chromosome breakage) and defective DNA repair. Some severe FANCB cases manifest features of VACTERL syndrome with hydrocephalus. Disease Ontology : 12 A Fanconi anemia that has material basis in mutation in the FANCB gene on chromosome Xp22. |
