Summaries for Fanconi Anemia, Complementation Group N

About this section
OMIM : 57 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). For additional general information and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Fanconi anemia, see 227650. (610832)

MalaCards based summary : Fanconi Anemia, Complementation Group N, also known as fanconi anemia complementation group n, is related to pancreatic cancer 3 and isolated tracheoesophageal fistula. An important gene associated with Fanconi Anemia, Complementation Group N is PALB2 (Partner And Localizer Of BRCA2), and among its related pathways/superpathways are DNA Double-Strand Break Repair and Fanconi anemia pathway. Affiliated tissues include bone, bone marrow and breast, and related phenotypes are nephroblastoma and neuroblastoma

Disease Ontology : 12 A Fanconi anemia that has material basis in compound heterozygous mutation in the PALB2 gene on chromosome 16p12.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 74 Fanconi anemia complementation group N: 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.
