Biallelic DDX11 mutations in humans cause the developmental disorder Warsaw breakage syndrome (WBS), which presents overlaps with Fanconi anemia in terms of chromosomal instability induced by intra- and interstrand crosslinking (ICL) agents and with cohesinopathies in terms of sister chromatid cohesion defects (7, 8). The gene discussed is DDX11; the disease is Fanconi anemia.
