Fanconi Anaemia as a Human Example of Faster Biological and Immune Ageing

Updated

Abstract

Fanconi anaemia (FA) is a DNA-repair disorder that compresses multiple hallmarks of ageing into childhood and early adulthood.

  • FA-specific DNA-repair failure may be linked to mitochondrial metabolism.
  • Oxidative stress, inflammatory changes, and metabolic reprogramming are associated with genomic instability in FA.
  • These factors could erode epigenetic integrity and compromise immune function.
  • FA may serve as a model to study the sequence and interdependence of ageing hallmarks.
  • Nutrigenomic mechanisms, such as vitamin D-dependent chromatin changes, may influence epigenetic states.
