FANCA

FANCA (FA complementation group A) is a human gene on chromosome 16 encoding the largest protein of the FA core complex, which repairs DNA interstrand cross-links; its variants cause 60-70% of Fanconi anemia cases and are targets of gene therapy.

FANCC

FANCC (FACC, FA complementation group C) is a human gene on chromosome 9q22.32 encoding a subunit of the FA core complex that monoubiquitinates FANCD2/FANCI for interstrand crosslink repair; biallelic variants cause about 15% of Fanconi anemia cases.

FANCG

FANCG, also called XRCC9, is a human gene on 9p13 encoding a 622-amino-acid FA core complex protein; biallelic variants cause Fanconi anemia complementation group G, about 10% of cases.

FANCI

FANCI (FA complementation group I, KIAA1794) is a human gene at 15q26.1 encoding the FANCI DNA repair protein, which heterodimerizes with FANCD2 as the ID clamp of the Fanconi anemia interstrand cross-link repair pathway; biallelic variants cause Fanconi anemia.

Fanconi anemia

Fanconi anemia (FA), also called Fanconi pancytopenia, is a rare inherited DNA repair disorder causing bone marrow failure, congenital abnormalities, and high leukemia and solid tumor risk; treated by HSCT, with gene therapy trials for FANCA subtype.

Fanconi anemia group E protein

FANCE (UniProt Q9HB96), the Fanconi anemia group E protein, is a 536-amino-acid human FA core complex subunit in the CEF module; it stabilizes FANCC, adapts FANCD2 as ubiquitination substrate via Phe-522, and causes FA complementation group E when mutated.

Fanconi anemia group F protein

FANCF, Fanconi anemia group F protein, is a 374-aa nuclear adaptor in the FA core complex (C-E-F subcomplex, binds FANCG/FANCA/FANCC, links FANCM), enabling FANCD2 monoubiquitination and interstrand crosslink repair; FANCF mutations cause FA group F (~2% of patients).

Fanconi Anemia Pathway

Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway, also called the FA-BRCA pathway: a DNA repair pathway for interstrand crosslinks, activated by FANCL/UBE2T monoubiquitination of FANCD2-FANCI and coordinating nucleases, translesion synthesis, and homologous recombination.
