Research Activities

  • Fanconi Anemia, DNA Repair
    • Pathophysiology of Fanconi anemia and functions of the eight known genes and gene products that cause Fanconi anemia. Linkage to BRCA1, BRCA2, NBS1 and ataxia telangiectasia DNA repair mechanisms. (Nat Genet 17:487, 1997; Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 95:13085, 1998; Blood 96:3224, 2000; Molec Cell 7:241 and 7:249, 2001; Nat Med 7:1259, 2001; Cell 109:459, 2002; Science, 297:606, 2002; Nat Cell Biol 4:913, 2002; Dev Cell 5: 903, 2003; Genes Dev 18:1958, 2004; Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 102:1110,2005)
    • Some tumors increase their mutagenic rate by somatic mutations that disrupt the Fanconi pathway (Nat Med 9:568, 2003), but may revert and become chemotherapy resistant (Cancer Res 15:2688, 2003)
    • Deubiquinating enzymes regulate Fanconi pathway (Mol Cell 17:331, 2005; Nat Cell Biol 8:339,2006
