FANCE: Proteins and Enzymes

FANCE (Fanconi anemia, complementation group E) is a protein involved in DNA repair. Defects in FANCE are the cause of Fanconi anemia, a heterogenous autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital malformations and a predisposition to cancer. The FANCE gene is one of 13 complementation groups that include FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1/BRCA2, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCI, FANCJ/BRIP1, FANCL, FANCM, and FANCN/PALB2. FANCE has been shown to mediate the interaction between FANCC and FANCD2.
