FANCA Gene Mutations in North African Fanconi Anemia Patients

FANCA Gene Mutations in North African Fanconi Anemia Patients

Populations in North Africa (NA) are characterized by a high rate of consanguinity. Consequently, the proportion of founder mutations might be higher than expected and could be a major cause for the high prevalence of recessive genetic disorders like Fanconi anemia (FA). We report clinical, cytogene...
