A member asked:
Can a baby inherit fanconi anemia or is it a new mutation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inherited: Fanconi anemia (fa) is the most common form of inherited aplastic anemia . It is an autosomal recessive or x-linked disorder that occurs in all races and ethnic groups. Multiple genes appear to be responsible for fa and are widely dispersed throughout the genome, including the x chromosome. Several of these genes are tumor suppressor genes.
