Fanconi anemia, complementation group D2 (FANCD2) is a gene that encodes a protein that is a member of the Fanconi anemia complementation group. The protein complex functions in the heterogeneous recessive disorder Fanconi anemia that causes cytogenetic instability, hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents, increases chromosomal breakage, and defective DNA repair. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions and insertions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.

FANCD2 is altered in 4.16% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and melanoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

FANCD2 GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in FANCD2 are FANCD2 Mutation (2.07%), FANCD2 X426_splice (52.66%), FANCD2 Nonsense (0.18%), FANCD2 Amplification (0.23%), and FANCD2 D645Y (0.07%) [3].
