Fanconi anemia, a recessive hereditary disease, leads to dysplasia, degeneration of bone marrow, and an increased risk of leukemia and tumors. Now, new research is showing the gene that causes this disease, FANCM, is also crucial to proper cell replication.

For this study, researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of...
