Hematology and Blood Disorders Fanconi Anemia Sickle Cell Anemia Tests and Procedures Home Care Fanconi Anemia (FA) is one of the inherited anemias that leads to bone marrow failure or aplastic anemia. Fanconi Anemia is an autosomal recessive disorder. If both parents carry a defect (mutation) in the same Fanconi Anemia gene, and if their children inherit the defective gene from both parents, the child will be born with Fanconi Anemia. Signs and Symptoms Fanconi Anemia may be evident at birth by a combination of the following physical traits: Children with Fanconi Anemia are usually diagnosed by age 12, when they may exhibit some or all of these symptoms: Long-Term Outlook Fanconi Anemia usually becomes more severe over time. There is also a risk that some patients may develop leukemia or other cancers.
Hope For Henry
This web site is dedicated to helping people learn more about what a special young man Henry is and to educate everyone about the disease he is fighting, fanconi anemia.

Extractions: Publish Date June 30, 2001 Henry Strongin Goldberg was born on October 25, 1995. Henry knows all there is to know about Pokémon, believes that Disney World is the best place on earth, plays soccer, worships superheroes and wrestles with his younger brother Jack way past bedtime. Everything he does makes his parents smile. In these and so many other ways, Henry is a lot like other boys his age. But this lover of life and everything Batman is different from other kids because Henry has a horrible disease that threatens his life. After a scary and difficult five years of endless waiting rooms, doctor's visits, blood tests, EKG's, bone marrow aspirations, IV's, surgeries, transfusions, drugs, scars and a bone marrow transplant in July 2000 that met with innumerable complications, Henry faces a very uncertain future. This web site is dedicated to helping people learn more about what a special and brave young man Henry is and to educate everyone about the disease he is fighting, Fanconi anemia (FA). Through raising awareness and money for research and encouraging people to register to be a bone marrow donor, our family strives to give Hope for Henry and other children suffering from this killer. We welcome you to the site and encourage you to tell others about it and to bookmark this page so you can keep abreast of Henry's progress.

Extractions: For those who do not know exactly what Fanconi Anemia is, it is a genetic, life-threatening, inherited blood disorder that leads to bone marrow failure. It occurs equally in males and females and is found in all ethnic groups. Though considered primarily a blood disorder, it may affect all systems of the body. Many patients develop acute myelgenous leukemia (AML). Older patients may develop other cancers. Many patients will not reach adulthood. Currently the only long-term cure for Fanconi Anemia is a bone marrow transplant. For additional information, please refer to

Alex And Matt Pearl
Personal stories of two children fighting fanconi anemia.

Extractions: Hi, most of you may know our story; we are Alexandra and Matthew Pearl. In December 2000 and January 2001 we were both diagnosed with a rare, life threatening blood disease called Fanconi anemia. It causes bone marrow failure; our bodies cannot make the blood we need to survive. Our only hope is a bone marrow transplant. Alex has found a perfect match and is recovering from her May 31, 2001 transplant in Cincinnati, Ohio. There is no perfect match for Matthew, in any registry throughout the entire world. We need your help, please consider getting added to the National Bone Marrow Registry through the Pearl Million-Donor March. Refer to the ' How You Can Help ' section. Presentation (PPT) My little girl (PPT) ... more docs, click here Who knows, maybe you could be the perfect match that saves Matthew's or the 3,000 others in need. Thanks to all who have helped to add more than 17,000 people to the registry, that have resulted in at least 40 matches for others. It is a good start, but there is much work to be done. God Bless and Thank you

Extractions: We, again would like to thank everyone for their sincere and heartfelt support. We literally could not have come as far as we did without all of you. We regretfully inform you all that Adam passed away at 9:11 PM, Minnesota time, on February 27, 1997. He was peaceful and pain-free when he passed. His family was with him, as was most of the staff from 4A, who have care for him in the entire duration of our stay here. We will happily inform everyone, though that Adam is now soaring with the angels, watching down protectively on all of us. We're sure he is having go-cart races with Mark Muellen and showing his knife collection to Joey Adamson and fishing with John Dumouchel. We will miss him but we know he is in a better place. May God bless all of you and shower you with goodness, health and many miracles. Thank you again. The Day Family Adam's Uncle Bob went to Minnesota during 1/30-2/3 and took some photos. Adam was in great spirits despite the constant interruptions by a wide variety of physicians and assistants. Go to: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/2219/

http://www.jewishgenetics.org/fanane.htm

Extractions: Fanconi anemia is a disorder characterized by a reduced production of all types of blood cells in the body. The most serious problem associated with this disorder is an increased risk for cancer. The underlying problem in this condition affects how the genetic information is copied in the cells of the body. The disorder can be seen in individuals from any ethnic background, but one specific gene alteration has been noted in individuals of Jewish ancestry. No effective treatment exists at this time. Disease frequency: Unknown Carrier frequency: Approximately 1 in 89 for a specific gene alteration noted in those of Jewish ancestry. Diagnosis: By a specialized type of chromosome testing or specific testing of one of the genes involved in Fanconi anemia. Inheritance: Autosomal Recessive Carrier testing: Available by testing for a specific gene alteration. Testing detects 95% of carriers for this specific type of Fanconi anemia. Prenatal diagnosis: Available through genetic testing in couples with a previous affected child or couples identified as being carriers.
