About Fanconi Anemia and FCF
Fanconi anemia (known as FA) is a genetic DNA repair disease that can affect every system of the body. In people with FA, cells have less ability to repair themselves and as a result, errors in these cells will increase over time, causing cancer and often bone marrow failure. The Fanconi Cancer Foundation (FCF) is the leading organization worldwide dedicated to curing this disease. Our mission is to improve the lives of people affected by Fanconi anemia and associated cancers worldwide by funding exceptional research and empowering our community.
