(Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center) A genetic malfunction that causes DNA instability in people with the blood disorder Fanconi anemia may put them at high risk for squamous cell carcinomas linked to human papillomavirus, according to a study posted online ahead of print by Oncogene. Researchers led by Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center report breakdown of a cell signaling pathway for the FA gene complex triggers cellular abnormalities, when then are made worse by HPV cancer genes in skin cells.
