This allows Ashkenazi Jews to be easily tested for Fanconi anemia. Approximately one in 89 Ashkenazi Jews is a carrier of Fanconi anemia. Fanconi Anemia usually reveals itself when children are between the ages of 3-12 years present with extreme fatigue, and frequent infections or recurrent nosebleeds and bruising.

Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Fanconi anemia Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disease that affects children and adults from all ethnic backgrounds. Named for Swiss pediatrician, Guido Fanconi, it is one of the inherited anemias that leads to bone marrow failure ( aplastic anemia Aplastic anemia is a condition where bone marrow does not produce enough, or any, new cells to replenish the blood. One known cause is an autoimmune disorder, where the white blood cells attack the bone marrow. Treating aplastic anemia involves suppression of the immune system, an effect achieved by daily medicine intake, or, in more severe cases, a bone marrow transplant, a curing but risky procedure. An interesting property of bone marrow transplants is the production of new white blood cells, an effect that removes the possibility of rejection. However, newly created white blood cells might reject the whole body instead. Click the link for more information. ). It is a recessive disorder: if both parents carry a defect (mutation) in the same FA gene, each of their children has a 25% chance of inheriting the defective gene from both parents. When this happens, the child will have FA. Approximately 1,000 persons worldwide presently suffer from the disease.

Laboratory findings include aplastic anemia , increased chromosome breakage in cells grown in the presence of a chemical which damages DNA mutation in one of the 8 separate genes which have been completely identified ("cloned"), or assignment to one of the 11 or more sub-categories into which patients with FA can be classified (known as "complementation groups"). Bone marrow failure is NOT required for the diagnosis, and ~25% of all persons eventually diagnosed as being affected by FA do not have the typical FA findings on physical examination. FA has been diagnosed at ages ranging from birth to >50 years of age. Males and females are affected equally. What are the major findings on physical examination?

Fanconi anemia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disease that affects children and adults from all ethnic backgrounds. Named for Swiss pediatrician, Guido Fanconi , it is one of the inherited anemias that leads to bone marrow failure ( aplastic anemia ). It is a recessive disorder: if both parents carry a defect (mutation) in the same FA gene, each of their children has a 25% chance of inheriting the defective gene from both parents. When this happens, the child will have FA. Approximately 1,000 persons worldwide presently suffer from the disease. Because of the failure of the components of the blood - white and red blood cells and platelets - the body cannot successfully combat infection, fatigue or spontaneous hemorrhage or bleeding. Bone marrow transplantation is the accepted treatment to repair the hematological problems associated with FA. Patients face an increased risk of acquiring cancer and other serious health problems throughout their lifetime. Many patients eventually develop acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Older patients are extremely likely to develop head and neck, esophogeal, gastrointestinal, vulvar and anal cancers. Patients who have had a successful bone marrow transplant and, thus, are cured of the blood problem associated with FA still must have regular examinations to watch for signs of cancer. Many patients do not reach adulthood.

The disease is highly variable and is frequently associated with cardiac, kidney and limb abnormalities. Short stature is commonly observed in children and adults with Fanconi anemia, and other growth measurements may also be below normal. Bleeding episodes and bruising are common, as are hormonal problems and infertility. The majority of individuals with Fanconi anemia are diagnosed during childhood, but many do not survive beyond young adulthood. This is frequently a result of leukemia or other cancers, which are due to bone marrow failure. Treatment for Fanconi anemia is primarily preventive. Individuals with Fanconi anemia may pursue bone marrow transplantation on an experimental basis, however there is to date no consistently effective treatment. In order to detect cancers early, individuals with Fanconi anemia should arrange for frequent screenings. In addition, avoidance of sun exposure and other agents which may damage the chromosomes is imperative. Although five subtypes of Fanconi Anemia exist, it is only Type C that occurs with increased frequency among individuals with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. It is estimated that approximately 1 in 89 Ashkenazi Jewish individuals are carriers of Type C. All types of Fanconi anemia are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Therefore parents of an affected child have a 1 in 4 (25%) chance in each future pregnancy to have another child with Fanconi anemia.

Ashkenazi Disorders: Mendelian Fanconi Anemia Fanconi anemia is a disorder characterized by a reduced production of all types of blood cells in the body. The most serious problem associated with this disorder is an increased risk for cancer. The underlying problem in this condition affects how the genetic information is copied in the cells of the body. The disorder can be seen in individuals from any ethnic background, but one specific gene alteration has been noted in individuals of Jewish ancestry. No effective treatment exists at this time. Disease frequency: Unknown Carrier frequency: Approximately 1 in 89 for a specific gene alteration noted in those of Jewish ancestry. Diagnosis: By a specialized type of chromosome testing or specific testing of one of the genes involved in Fanconi anemia. Inheritance: Autosomal Recessive Carrier testing: Available by testing for a specific gene alteration. Testing detects 95% of carriers for this specific type of Fanconi anemia. Prenatal diagnosis: Available through genetic testing in couples with a previous affected child or couples identified as being carriers.

60. Chicago Center For Jewish Genetics Disorders - Ashkenazi Disorders: Fanconi Anem fanconi anemia. Mutations and testing There are 5 complementation groups known for fanconi anemia (A E) and group C accounts for ~15% of all cases. http://www.jewishgeneticscenter.org/what/ashkenazi/fanconi2.asp

Ashkenazi Disorders: Mendelian Fanconi Anemia Gene: Fanconi anemia is caused by mutations in the FACC gene, which is located at 9q22.3. This gene encodes for a protein that is involved in cellular tolerance to DNA damaging agents such as crosslinkers. It also functions to regulate growth, differentiation, and survival of normal hematopoietic progenitor cells. Mutations and testing: There are 5 complementation groups known for Fanconi anemia (A - E) and group C accounts for ~15% of all cases. Ashkenazi Jews have a higher than expected incidence of Fanconi anemia and the vast majority of these cases are due to mutations in complementation group C. One mutation, IVS4 A-T+4, accounts for 85% of the mutant alleles seen in Ashkenazi Jews. Analysis for two mutations, IVS4 A-T+4 and 322delG detects 90% of FAC mutant alleles. Traits: Clinical manifestations of Fanconi anemia include anemia progressing to pancytopenia, fatigue, nosebleeds, easy bruising, short stature, and hyperpigmentation of the skin. Various birth defects have also been associated with FAC, such as hypoplasia or aplasia of the thumb and radius, and renal problems. Up to 25% of patients will develop leukemia or other cancers. Mental retardation and learning disabilities are seen in some patients with FAC. Average age of diagnosis is between 3 to 12 years of age and the disease is progressive. Most patients with FAC do not live past 30 years of age. Treatment: No effective specific treatment is available. Frequent screenings are done for the associated cancers, transfusions as performed as needed, and patients should avoid exposure to DNA damaging agents. Recent studies have shown that 50 to 75% of patients may respond to androgens, which stimulate production of one or more types of blood cells for extended periods of time. Hematopoietic growth factors and bone marrow transplantation are other treatments that are possible but are not considered standard care.
