Fanconi Anemia (FA): Understanding

Fanconi Anemia (FA): Overview

Fanconi anemia is a rare, inherited autosomal recessive genetic disorder that leads to bone marrow failure affecting all three blood cell lines (red blood cells, platelets, and leukocytes). Mutations in Fanconi anemia genes result in the accumulation of chromosomal damage due to impaired DNA repair, particularly in the repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks. This failure to repair DNA leads to genomic instability, pancytopenia, and an increased susceptibility to malignancies, cytotoxic agents, and radiation. Fanconi anemia is also associated with congenital abnormalities and is typically diagnosed in childhood, with the average age of diagnosis around 7 years. Clinical features include fatigue, shortness of breath, bleeding, and a variety of physical abnormalities, along with an increased risk of hematologic and solid tumors. The diagnosis is confirmed through chromosomal fragility testing, and management involves supportive care, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and androgen therapy.

Fanconi anemia is primarily an inherited autosomal recessive disorder, though around 2% of cases are inherited in an X-linked recessive manner. Additionally, an autosomal dominant subtype has been identified. Pathogenic mutations in Fanconi anemia genes, which include point mutations, duplications, splicing defects, and deletions, impair the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks. Over 23 Fanconi anemia complementation genes (FANC) have been identified, and they play crucial roles in the DNA repair pathway. While most of these genes follow an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, some, such as FANCB (X-linked) and FANCR (RAD51, autosomal dominant), have different inheritance patterns.

Fanconi anemia is characterized by chromosomal instability due to impaired DNA repair mechanisms, primarily caused by biallelic mutations in the genes associated with the Fanconi anemia core complex. These mutations lead to dysfunction in the DNA repair pathway, affecting processes like homologous recombination, nucleotide excision repair, and DNA crosslink repair. The failure to repair DNA damage results in genomic instability, pancytopenia, and increased susceptibility to mutagenic agents, ultraviolet radiation, and malignancies. Notably, Fanconi anemia proteins, such as FANCA, FANCC, and FANCG, maintain genomic integrity by repairing DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs), which prevent DNA strand separation. When these proteins are mutated, cells cannot repair DNA damage effectively, leading to chromosomal fragility and a higher risk of cancers like head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The Fanconi anemia core complex proteins, including FANCD2, FANCL, and others, interact in the DNA repair pathway, activating repair processes through monoubiquitination and phosphorylation after DNA damage. These pathways also involve additional proteins like BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD51, and FANCN, which help resist DNA-damaging agents. The impairment of these processes leads to bone marrow failure and a predisposition to cancer due to defective DNA repair mechanisms.

The treatment and management of Fanconi anemia primarily involves supportive care, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT), androgen therapy, and surgical interventions. Supportive therapy includes blood transfusions to address pancytopenia and granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) for leukopenia, with caution against familial RBC transfusions due to alloimmunization risks. HCT, particularly from HLA-matched siblings, is the preferred method for curing aplastic anemia and preventing myelodysplastic syndrome. Androgen therapy, using oxymetholone or other androgens, may be considered for patients ineligible for HCT, though it is not curative. Surgical management is essential for correcting congenital anomalies associated with the disorder, such as hand deformities, heart defects, and tracheoesophageal fistulas, as well as for cancer management. Gene therapy, still in development, aims to correct the underlying genetic defect but has not yet been fully successful. Differentiating Fanconi anemia from other conditions like acquired aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or rare chromosomal instability syndromes is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

Fanconi Anemia (FA) Emerging Drugs

• RP-L102: Rocket Pharmaceuticals Inc.

RP-L102 is an investigational gene therapy that contains autologous (patient-derived) hematopoietic stem cells that have been genetically modified with a lentiviral (LV) vector to contain a functional copy of the FANCA gene. The therapy involves genetically modifying a patient's own hematopoietic stem cells to include a functional copy of the FANCA gene, addressing the critical DNA repair deficiencies associated with this rare genetic disorder. Rocket holds FDA Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT), Rare Pediatric Disease, and Fast Track designations in the U.S., PRIME and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP) designations in the EU, and Orphan Drug designation in both regions for the program. Currently, the drug is in Registration stage of its development for the treatment of Fanconi Anemia (FA).

• FP-045: Foresee Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.

FP-045 is a first-in-class, potent oral small molecule developed by Foresee Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. as an aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) activator targeting Fanconi Anemia (FA). The drug works by targeting a critical mitochondrial enzyme that plays a key role in regulating cellular stress, reducing aldehyde-induced toxicity, and potentially preventing hematopoietic stem cell loss. As an innovative therapeutic approach, FP-045 aims to address the underlying cellular mechanisms associated with the dominant-negative ALDH2 allele commonly found in FA patients, offering a novel strategy for managing this rare genetic disorder by modulating mitochondrial quality control systems and reducing oxidative stress. Currently, the drug is in Phase I/II stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Fanconi Anemia (FA).
