The role of FANCI in other cancer types remains to be determined, though there have been reports of FANCI variant carriers in a variety of cancer types such as prostate cancer [125, 128, 129], sarcoma [130], malignant pleural mesothelioma [131], acute myeloid leukaemia [132], head and neck carcinoma [133], and colorectal cancer [134] (see Additional file 1: Table S17 and Additional file 3: Fig. S7). Here, FANCI is linked to cancer.
