Abstract:10589 Background: Fanconi anemia (FA) is a cancer predisposition syndrome caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in one of 22 genes involved in DNA intrastrand crosslink repair. 20 of these genes have an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. Of the FA genes, 5 ( BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, PALB2, RAD51C) are known cancer predisposition genes (CPG) when inherited in monoallelic autosomal dominant manner, though the heterozygous predisposition status of the remaining 15 remains unclear. Large population-level exom… Show more
