A novel RAD51 variant resulting in Fanconi anemia identified in an infant with multiple congenital anomalies

Fanconi anemia, FA, is a rare, multi-system disease caused by pathogenic variants in DNA repair genes. We report a novel RAD51 variant in an infant with FA whose tracheobronchomalacia has not been described in FA. His severe presentation expands the phenotype of RAD51-associated FA, reported only in three patients previously.
