Overview
The discovery of Fanconi anemia is largely the work of the Swiss pediatrician Guido Fanconi who observed various finding of the disease to be different than pernicious anemia. Over the coming decades, multiple advances in diagnostics have been made by various groups.
Historical Perspective
Following Are landmark events of discovery of fanconi anemia.
Discovery
- In 1927, Guido Fanconi, a Swiss pediatrician published his observations ‘Familiäre, infantile, perniziosaartige Anämie’{Familial, infantile, pernicious anemia}.[1] This was the first clinical report of Fanconi anemia.[2] Guido Fanconi noted that the various findings of Fanconi anemia were different than pernicious anemia.
- In 1931, Erwin Uehlinger, a German Pathologist, published article showing that findings of Guido Fanconi are different from pernicious anemia this type of constitutional anaemia was often associated with pancytopenia and that congenital malformations.[3]
- In 1937, Guido Fanconi described the renal fanconi syndrome based on observation of de Toni and Debre, characterized by growth retardation, aminoaciduria, glycosuria and hypophosphataemic rickets. [4]
- In 1967, Guido Fanconi described Fanconi anemia (FA) findings as separate entity than pernicious anemia.[5]
- In 1931, Otto Naegeli, a Swiss hematologist introduced the name ‘Fanconi's Anaemia'[6]
- In 1975, S.A. Latt and colleagues showed that chromosome breaks and rearrangements in Fanconi anemia may be due to defective DNA repair.[2]
- In 1992, the FANCC gene was first cloned.[2]
- In 2013,, it was found that Fanconi anemia genes were altered in 40% of cancers based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data.
