title: Fanconi anemia, dyskeratosis congenita, and WT syndrome.
abstract: The association of congenital anomalies and pancytopenia is encountered in several clinical syndromes. Among these, Fanconi anemia is by far the most prevalent, and consequently best known. As a result, other similar conditions, such as dyskeratosis congenita and particularly WT syndrome, are often mistaken for Fanconi anemia. However, at a closer look, the type of congenital anomalies, the mode of inheritance, cytogenic and other laboratory findings allow clear differentiation between these 3 syndromes.
