Abstract

Seven Fanconi anemia-associated proteins (FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG and FANCL) form a nuclear Fanconi anemia core complex that activates the monoubiquitination of FANCD2, targeting FANCD2 to BRCA1-containing nuclear foci. Cells from individuals with Fanconi anemia of complementation groups D1 and J (FA-D1 and FA-J) have normal FANCD2 ubiquitination. Using genetic mapping, mutation identification and western-blot data, we identify the defective protein in FA-J cells as BRIP1 (also called BACH1), a DNA helicase that is a binding partner of the breast cancer tumor suppressor BRCA1.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The most common FANCJ germline mutant allele is R798x.

    “Of all the FANCJ germline mutations, the most common mutant allele is FANCJ R798x.”
  • Bi-allelic mutations in BACH1/FANCJ/BRIP1 or PALB2/FANCN cause the FA subtypes FA-J or FA-N, respectively.

    “Similarly, inheriting bi-allelic mutations in BACH1/FANCJ/ BRIP1 or PALB2/FANCN genes results in the FA subtypes FA-J or FA-N, respectively (Figure 1) [26–30].”
  • Several FANCJ mutations targeting noncoding genomic DNA have been identified in breast cancer and Fanconi anemia patients.

    “Along these lines, several FANCJ mutations targeting noncoding genomic DNA have been identified in both breast cancer and FA patients [28,43].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
