摘要
The molecular defects responsible for the cancer predisposition syndrome Fanconi's Anemia (FA) have been elusive. A recent study reports that the FANC-B and -D1 subgroups result from hypomorphic mutations in BRCA2. Given that BRCA2 protein participates in homologous recombination, this finding connects at least a subset of the FA phenotypes to defective DNA repair.
