International Fanconi Anemia Registry

The goal of the International Fanconi Anemia Registry (IFAR) is to obtain clinical and genetic information on patients with Fanconi anemia, in order to learn how to optimize growth and development of affected children and to increase understanding of this rare syndrome. Fanconi anemia is an autosomal recessive syndrome associated with chromosomal instability, variable skeletal and other congenital abnormalities, bone-marrow failure, and predisposition to malignancy, particularly acute myelogenous leukemia and squamous cell carcinomas.
