FANCC

FANCC is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein involved in repairing DNA, the body's blueprint for building and maintaining cells. Proper DNA repair is crucial for preventing cell damage and mutations that can lead to diseases like cancer. Mutations in the FANCC gene can impair this repair process, increasing the risk of inherited conditions such as Fanconi anemia, which leads to bone marrow failure and increased cancer risk. Overall, FANCC plays a vital role in maintaining genetic stability and healthy cell function.
