Inherited aplastic anaemia with increased endoreduplications: a new syndrome of Fanconi's anaemia variant? 1979

H Dosik, and W Steier, and A Lubiniecki

Two sisters with aplastic anaemia without other congenital anomalies are described. Peripheral blood cytogenetic studies revealed an increase in endoreduplications in the absence of other unstable chromosome anomalies. Increased expression of T-antigen following SV40 virus infection in vitro was demonstrated in both sisters, as well as other normal family members. We feel that these patients represent a variant of Fanconi's anaemia. The importance of performing chromosome studies in idiopathic aplastic anaemia is emphasized.

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.
