Fanconi Anemia Precision Panel

Fanconi Anemia (FA) is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome featuring pancytopenia, predisposition to malignancy and characteristic physical abnormalities such as short stature, developmental delay, thumb abnormalities, among others.

Overview

  • Fanconi Anemia (FA) is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome featuring pancytopenia, predisposition to malignancy and characteristic physical abnormalities such as short stature, developmental delay, thumb abnormalities, among others. It is the most frequently reported of the rare inherited bone marrow failure syndromes. Individuals with FA require increased surveillance for malignancies and organ dysfunction. The defect relies in the inability to repair deleterious types of DNA damage resulting in genomic instability which in turn leads to increased risk of malignancy and defective haematopoiesis. In most cases, FA is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner although X-linked and autosomal dominant patterns exist.  

  • The Igenomix Fanconi Anemia Precision Panel can be used to make an accurate and directed diagnosis as well as a differential diagnosis of pancytopenia ultimately leading to a better management and prognosis of the disease. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the genes involved in this disease using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to fully understand the spectrum of relevant genes involved.

Indication

  • The Igenomix Fanconi Anemia Precision Panel is indicated for those patients with a clinical suspicion or diagnosis with or without the following manifestations: 
    • Short stature 
    • Skin pigmentation 
    • Petechiae 
    • Bruises 
    • Pallor 
    • Fatigue 
    • Frequent infections 
    • Thumb or other radial ray abnormalities 
    • Other malformations: congenital heart disease, gastrointestinal anomalies, CNS anomalies etc 

Clinical Utility

The clinical utility of this panel is: 

  • The genetic and molecular confirmation for an accurate clinical diagnosis of a symptomatic patient.  
  • Early initiation of treatment with a multidisciplinary team in the form hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as well as preventive measures such as active restriction, management of acute complications and early and continuous surveillance of malignancy. 
  • Risk assessment and genetic counselling of asymptomatic family members according to the mode of inheritance. 
  • Improvement of delineation of genotype-phenotype correlation.
