In total, 21 genes (FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1/BRCA2, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG/XRCC9, FANCI, FANCJ/BRIP1/BACH1, FANCL/PHF9/Pog, FANCM/Hef, FANCN/PALB2, FANCO/Rad51c, FANCP/SLX4, FANCQ/XPF, FANCR/RAD51, FANCS/BRCA1, FANCT/UBE2T, FANCU/XRCC2 and FANCV/REV7) along with FA Associated Proteins FAAP100, FAAP20 and FAAP24 have been identified to participate in the emergence of FA pathology (1). Here, FANCA is linked to Friedreich ataxia.
