We further evaluated several other proteins: chromodomain helicase DNA-containing protein 3 (CHD3, an epigenetic modulator) and Fanconi anemia (FA) complementation Group 2 (FANCD2, a DNA damage sensor protein) that were specifically upregulated in cavin3 KO cells and that are involved in different aspects of DNA repair. Here, CAVIN3 is linked to anemia (phenotype).
