FANCI

Fanconi anemia, complementation group I (FANCI) also known as KIAA1794, is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the FANCI is_associated_with::gene. Mutations in the FANCI gene are known to cause is_associated_with::Fanconi anemia.

Function
The Fanconi anemia complementation group (FANC) currently includes is_associated_with::FANCA, is_associated_with::FANCB, is_associated_with::FANCC, is_associated_with::FANCD1 (also called BRCA2), is_associated_with::FANCD2, is_associated_with::FANCE, is_associated_with::FANCF, is_associated_with::FANCG, FANCI, is_associated_with::FANCJ (also called BRIP1), is_associated_with::FANCL, is_associated_with::FANCM and is_associated_with::FANCN (also called PALB2). The previously defined group FANCH is the same as FANCA. is_associated_with::Fanconi anemia is a genetically heterogeneous recessive disorder characterized by cytogenetic instability, hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents, increased chromosomal breakage, and defective DNA repair. The members of the Fanconi anemia complementation group do not share sequence similarity; they are related by their assembly into a common nuclear protein complex. This gene encodes the protein for complementation group I. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
