Chromosomal Aberrations and Survival after Unrelated Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant in Patients with Fanconi Anemia

• Gains of chromosome 1q and 3q and deletion of 7q or monosomy 7 were the most frequently detected aberrations in pre-HCT blood samples of patients with Fanconi Anemia (FA).• Gains of chromosome 3q, and aberrations in 3 or more chromosomes in patients with FA were associated with poor survival a fter unrelated donor HCT.• Post-HCT survival in patients with deletion of 7q or monosomy 7 was not significantly worse than in patients without those aberrations.
