Nature genetics, 2011•nature.comDNA interstrand crosslink repair requires several classes of proteins, including structure-
specific endonucleases and Fanconi anemia proteins. SLX4, which coordinates three
separate endonucleases, was recently recognized as an important regulator of DNA repair.
Here we report the first human individuals found to have biallelic mutations in SLX4. These
individuals, who were previously diagnosed as having Fanconi anemia, add SLX4 as an
essential component to the FA-BRCA genome maintenance pathway.
