| | UJC - Genetic Diseases: Fanconi Anemia |
 | | Individuals with Fanconi anemia may pursue bone marrow transplantation on an experimental basis, however there is to date no consistently effective treatment. | | | Therefore parents of an affected child have a 1 in 4 (25%) chance in each future pregnancy to have another child with Fanconi anemia. | | | This is frequently a result of leukemia or other cancers, which are due to bone marrow failure. |

| | This therapy is very effective, and although there are associated toxicities, there has been improvement in the care of Fanconi patients during the transplant. | | | Even though a successful bone marrow transplant can cure the bone marrow problems from Fanconi's anemia, patients are at risk for other cancers and must be regularly followed by a physician (see below). | | | Survival has likely been improved by the development and refinement of therapies, such as bone marrow transplantation. |

| | FA is one of the few forms of aplastic anemia in which the response to androgens is more than 50%. | | | Medicine is a constantly changing science and not all therapies are clearly established. | | | The correct answer is A: Fifty to 75% of patients respond to androgen therapy. |
