Figure 1 Some Features of Fanconi's Anemia.

The physical and cytogenetic findings in some patients with Fanconi's anemia are shown. Panel A shows the characteristically short thumb; Panel B shows a cafe au lait spot; and Panel C shows chromosomal breaks as revealed by cytogenetic analysis (A indicates chromatid breaks, B chromatid fragments, and C a dicentric chromosome). Other common clinical manifestations include short stature, skin hyperpigmentation, pancytopenia, and renal anomalies.
