Fanconi anemia
Let an agent explain Fanconi anaemia and its genetics, relay features, diagnosis, treatment and surveillance from haematology and genetics guidelines in general terms, route affected families to specialists and patient organisations, and distinguish Fanconi anaemia from Fanconi syndrome of the kidney and from other bone marrow failure syndromes.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain Fanconi anaemia and its genetics, relay features, diagnosis, treatment and surveillance from haematology and genetics guidelines in general terms, route affected families to specialists and patient organisations, and distinguish Fanconi anaemia from Fanconi syndrome of the kidney and from other bone marrow failure syndromes.
A rare inherited disorder of DNA repair causing bone marrow failure, physical abnormalities and a high risk of leukaemia and solid cancers, caused by mutations in any of more than twenty genes that define complementation groups such as A, C, D2, E, L, T and U, with most cases autosomal recessive; treatment includes stem cell transplantation and cancer surveillance, and affected families should be under specialist care.
What it is for: Not applicable; a disease.
It can be explain genetics and features; relay diagnosis and treatment; route to specialists; distinguish related conditions.
Distinguishing features
DNA repair defect
Marrow failure
Cancer predisposition
Many complementation groups
What it looks like
Not a visible object; short stature, skin and thumb abnormalities in many cases.
Physical character
incidence: about 1 in 130000 births
known genes: over 20 count
most common group: FANCA, about 60 percent note
described by: Guido Fanconi, 1927 note
How it is recognised
Inherited DNA repair disorder with marrow failure
Complementation groups A, C, D2, E, L, T, U and others
Fanconi syndrome is a kidney tubule disorder; other marrow failure syndromes have different genes
