Abstract:
We report a family with a dominantly transmitted syndrome resembling Fanconi's anemia and spanning two generations. This syndrome was characterized by an ill-defined hematologic stem cell disorder, immune dysfunction, poor dentition, hyperpigmented skin, warts, and multiple second trimester spontaneous abortions and included one case of acute myelomonocytic leukemia (acute non-lymphocytic leukemia, M4). This family lacks the characteristic chromosomal aberrations of Fanconi's anemia. We believe this constellation of findings represents an entity not previously described.
