Fanconi Anemia FANCONI ANEMIA is a chronic blood disorder. Symptoms include bone marrow failure, short stature and a predisposition to cancers such as leukemia. Some children may have heart, kidney and limb abnormalities. Diagnosis is usually made during childhood and life expectancy is about 30 years. Bone marrow transplantation has been used experimentally but there is no standard effective treatment at this time. The carrier rate in the Ashkenazi Jewish population is about 1 in 90. DNA mutation testing detects about 95% of Ashkenazi Jewish carriers. Resources: Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, Inc. (FARF)

How is FA related to Leukemia and other cancers

What is Fanconi anemia and how is it diagnosed?
  • Thumb and arm anomalies: misshapen or missing thumbs or an incompletely developed or missing radius (one of the forearm bones)
  • Skeletal anomalies of the hips, spine, or ribs
  • Kidney problems
  • Skin discoloration (café-au-lait spots); portions of the body may have a suntanned look
  • Small head or eyes
  • Mental retardation or learning disabilities
  • Low birth weight
  • Gastro-intestinal difficulties
  • Small reproductive organs in males
  • Defects in tissues separating chambers of the heart.
How is FA treated? Short-term therapy may include blood transfusions and antibiotics.Long-term therapies available at the present time include:
  • Androgens
  • Growth factors
  • Bone marrow transplantation
  • Gene therapy
Androgens: About half (or more) of FA patients respond well to androgens (male hormones), which stimulate the production of red blood cells and often platelets. Sometimes white cell production is stimulated as well. This treatment may be effective for many years, but most patients eventually fail to respond. Growth factors:Hematopoietic (blood-stimulating) growth factors are being tested now. G-CSF stimulates the production of white blood cells, and seems to be effective in FA patients. Other growth factors may be effective in combination.

Ohsu Researchers Successfully Identify And Clone Fanconi Anemia Gene For business opportunities please click here Discovery Provides New Insight Into the Causes of and Possible Cures for the Fatal Genetic Disorder
PORTLAND, Ore. * It's not as common as cancer or Alzheimer's disease, but for many Oregonians, Fanconi anemia (FA) hits close to home. During the last 10 years one of the state's most prominent families has lost two members to the genetic disorder. In 1991 12-year-old Katie Frohnmayer died from complications caused by the disease, and 24-year-old Kirsten Frohnmayer died in 1997, two years after receiving a bone marrow transplant. Both are daughters of David Frohnmayer, president of the University of Oregon, and his wife Lynn.
This week researchers at Oregon Health Sciences University are pleased to announce they have identified and cloned a key FA gene. OHSU researchers believe the discovery could provide important clues to the cause and cure of FA. Markus Grompe, M.D., a professor of molecular and medical genetics, and pediatrics in OHSU's School of Medicine, Robb Moses, M.D., chairman of the Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics, and geneticist Susan Olson, Ph.D., directed the project at OHSU. Research was conducted in collaboration with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass; and The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario. Conclusions are printed in the Feb. 16 edition of Molecular Cell.

BCOA Health Research Committee Report 8/2/96
There are currently several health issues of concern in basenjis. These include Fanconi Disease, PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy), HA (Hemolytic Anemia), and Hip Dysplasia. The status of research in each of these areas holds a lot of promise for the future of our breed.
PRA
The PRA committee has been in touch with Dr. Aguirre of the Baker Institute, who is the leading expert on PRA. Dr. Aguirre believes that basenji PRA falls in the prcd class of PRA, like poodles, cocker spaniels, and many other breeds. He is currently studying prcd PRA, with a goal of developing a DNA test for carriers and affecteds. Ophthalmologists reports indicate that some basenjis exhibit the classic PRA pattern of retinal deterioration, while others show a patchwork pattern of retinal degeneration. Basenjis with PRA frequently show retinal deterioration later than other breeds, with basenjis typically first becoming PRA suspicious at ages 3.5 to 6. Some cases of very late onset PRA, at age 7 and older, have also been reported. In some cases very late onset retinal deterioration, in dogs that have tested normal for years, requires additional testing to determine whether it is caused by PRA or old age. Breeders are being very cooperative in getting definitive diagnoses, as it is very important to know which dogs are affected. ERG's, a special test of retinal electrical response, and post-mortem pathology after the basenji dies, can answer whether or not a very old dog had PRA or some other form of retinal deterioration.

Illustrations
Formed elements of blood Alternative names Return to top Anemia - Fanconi's; FA Definition Return to top Fanconi's anemia is an inherited disease that primarily affects the bone marrow, resulting in decreased production of all types of blood cells. The lack of white blood cells predisposes the patient to infections, while the lack of platelets and red blood cells may result in bleeding, and fatigue (anemia), respectively. It is also associated with a broad variety of physical anomalies. Fanconi's anemia is distinct from Fanconi's syndrome, a rare kidney disorder in which nutrients are lost through the urine. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Fanconi's anemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion, thus one copy of an abnormal gene is passed on by each parent. It occurs in all racial and ethnic groups. It is classically diagnosed between 2 and 15 years of age. The disease is caused by a genetic defect that prevents cells from fixing damaged DNA or removing toxic, oxygen-free radicals that damage cells. Patients may be suspected of having the disease, if they have particular birth defects or develop decreased blood counts.

Fanconi's Anemia (FA)
FA patients have relatively specific physical findings in ~75% of affected persons. 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 6 separate genes which have been completely identified ("cloned"), or assignment to one of the 7 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.

(excerpts below) - definition, discussion, diagnosis, treatment, support Family Village FA page support Fanconi Anemia Mutation Database science of FA What is Fanconi Anemia? Fanconi anemia (FA) is named for a Swiss pediatrician, Guido Fanconi. In 1927, Dr. Fanconi published his clinical observations on brothers who had inherited various abnormal physical conditions, and who also experienced bone marrow failure. These children suffered severe life-threatening aplastic anemia. Their blood systems could not successfully combat infection, fatigue or spontaneous hemorrhage or bleeding. Recent research shows these discoveries: FA is one of several deadly inherited anemias. Both parents must be carriers of a recessive FA gene for their child to be born with this disorder. If both parents carry the recessive gene, the chances are one in four that any of their children will inherit the disease. Scientists call this pattern of inheritance "autosomal recessive" FA patients may have a variety of noticeable birth defects, ranging from minor to serious. These defects may affect every major system of the body. Other FA patients are free from any visible disorder-other than ultimate bone marrow failure.
