What Is Fanconi Anemia?

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic syndrome, involving failure of the
bone marrow to produce blood cells. FA is a premalignant medical disorder,
which means that individuals with FA often eventually develop some form
of cancer. However, the most common cause of death among people with
FA is bone marrow failure leading to a life-threatening anemia. FA patients
often have various characteristic birth defects and other medical problems in
addition to the anemia and cancer.
