For example, BRCA1 mutations have been linked to Fanconi anemia (FA), an inherited BM failure syndrome with hematopoietic phenotypes such as myelodysplastic syndrome, cytopenia, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), since BRCA1 interacts with several FA proteins (9–13). The gene discussed is BRCA1; the disease is Fanconi anemia.
