We know that the Fanconi anemia diagnosis can be overwhelming. It’s a lot to digest. Please know that you are not alone. We’re here to help you understand what it means to live with FA and to connect you to the education and support services that will make this diagnosis a bit more manageable.

What is Fanconi Anemia?
Fanconi anemia (known as FA) is a complex disease that can affect every system of the body, and the severity of symptoms can differ widely from person to person. A diagnosis of FA has social, emotional, and financial impacts on the individual and family, as well. Being educated and supported throughout the process of diagnosis, and into treatment and management, is paramount to well-being and coping with a chronic disease.
