    摘要: Methods and compositions for the diagnosis of cancer susceptibilities, defective DNA repair mechanisms and treatments thereof are provided. Among sequences provided here, the FANCD2 gene has been identified, mapped on the 3p chromosome, cloned into recombinant vectors, used to prepare recombinant cells and sequenced. The FANCD2 gene sequence provides probes and primers for screening patients in genetic based test and for diagnosing Fanconi anemia and cancer. It has also been possible to target the FANCD2 gene in vivo for preparing experimental mouse models for use in screening new therapeutic agents for treating conditions involving defective DNA repair. Vectors are described for use in gene therapy. The FANCD2 polypeptide has been sequenced and has been shown to exist in two isoforms identified as FANCD2-S and the mono-ubiquinated FANCD-L form. Antibodies including polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies have been prepared that distinguish the two isoforms and have been used in diagnostic tests to determine whether a subject has an intact FA pathway. The FANCD2 has been localized to the nucleus and is associated with BRCA 1 foci.
