Anémie de fanconi au CHU Hassan II Fès: à propos de 6 observations

摘要

Fanconi anemia is a recessive disorder associated with chromosomal instability. It is marked by phenotypical heterogeneity which includes medullary deficiency, a variable malformation syndrome, a predisposition to develop acute leukaemias myéloïdes (ALM) and a cellular over-sensitiveness with the agents bridging the ADN. The diagnosis is based on the abnormal increase in the rate of spontaneous breaks chromosomal but especially and in a specific way, on a clear increase in these chromosomal breaks in the presence of bifunctional alkylating agents, which is the case in our six patients. Genetic counseling is that available for autosomal recessive diseases. We report our initial observations conducted at the University Hospital (CHU) Hassan II of Fez confirmed by the detection of a large chromosomal instability after culture with Mitomycin C compared to a normal control group. The purpose of this study was to update our knowledge of Fanconi anemia genes and to highlight the role of cytogenetics in its diagnosis and the genetic counseling for better management of affected children and their families.
