V-H4, a mitomycin C (MMC)-sensitive Chinese hamster cell mutant, is phenotypically very similar to Fanconi anemia (FA) cells. Genetic complementation analysis shows that V-H4 belongs to the same complementation group as FA group A cells. Proliferating hybrid cell lines obtained after fusion of V-H4 with normal or FA group B cells show an increased resistance to MMC. Absence of complementation was noted in V-H4 x FA group A hybrid cell lines. This was shown not to be due to the absence of a specific human chromosome. The V-H4 mutant represents the first rodent mutant that is genotypically similar to FA complementation group A cells.

D005199 Fanconi Anemia Congenital disorder affecting all bone marrow elements, resulting in ANEMIA; LEUKOPENIA; and THROMBOPENIA, and associated with cardiac, renal, and limb malformations as well as dermal pigmentary changes. Spontaneous CHROMOSOME BREAKAGE is a feature of this disease along with predisposition to LEUKEMIA. There are at least 7 complementation groups in Fanconi anemia: FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, and FANCL.
