Order Fanconi Anemia Carrier Test | FA CarrierFanconi anemia is an inherited condition that affects the body's ability to repair damaged DNA, leading to bone marrow failure, physical differences, and an elevated risk of certain cancers. The Fanconi Anemia Carrier Test examines two specific mutations in the FANCC gene that are associated with type C of the disorder.
About Fanconi Anemia Carrier Test | FA Carrier in Bothell
This test looks for two well-characterized mutations in the FANCC gene: IVS4+4A>T and 322delG.
Fanconi anemia is typically inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning that a child must inherit a mutation from each parent to be affected. Carriers have one altered copy of the gene and generally do not develop the condition themselves.
The FANCC gene provides instructions for a protein involved in DNA repair. The IVS4+4A>T mutation affects how the gene's message is assembled, while the 322delG mutation removes a single DNA building block, altering the resulting protein.
Testing can identify carriers as well as individuals who have two copies of these mutations. Results should be interpreted by a healthcare provider in the context of personal and family history, and genetic counseling is often recommended to explain what the findings mean.
