In 16/60 (26%) of the SPS patients, we found variants in genes encoding for proteins of the Fanconi Anemia (FA) pathway (BLM, BRCA1, FAN1, FANCA, FANCD2, FANCL, PALB2, RAD50, RAD51C, RAD51D), that are involved in the DNA Interstrand-Cross Link repair (DNA-ICLR). The gene discussed is RAD51C; the disease is Fanconi anemia.
