Fanconi anemia (FA) is a human disorder characterized by cancer susceptibility and cellular sensitivity to DNA crosslinks and other damages. This entry represents FANCG, which is part of the FA core complex required for the monoubiquitylation of FANCD2 and the FANCI heterodimer. The FA complex coordinates activities of the downstream DNA repair pathway including nucleotide excision repair, translesion synthesis, and homologous recombination []. Besides being part of the FA complex, FANCG also promotes formation of a protein complex containing BRCA2, FANCD2 and XRCC3 [].
