Disease IDSourceNameDescription
300514 OMIMFanconi anemia complementation group B (FANCB)A disorder affecting all bone marrow elements and resulting in anemia, leukopenia and thrombopenia. It is associated with cardiac, renal and limb malformations, dermal pigmentary changes, and a predisposition to the development of malignancies. At the cellular level it is associated with hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, chromosomal instability (increased chromosome breakage) and defective DNA repair. Some severe FANCB cases manifest features of VACTERL syndrome with hydrocephalus. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
