Fanconi Anemia

Fanconi Anemia is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to repair damaged DNA. This can lead to bone marrow failure, where the body doesn't produce enough blood cells, increasing the risk of infections, bleeding, and cancer. Individuals with Fanconi Anemia may also have physical abnormalities and developmental delays. The condition is inherited and can vary in severity. Treatment often involves regular monitoring, blood transfusions, and sometimes bone marrow or stem cell transplants to improve blood production and manage other symptoms. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for better outcomes.
