FANCF
FANCF (Fanconi anaemia group F protein) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a DNA repair gene, and the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Leukaemia, Skin cancer and Melanoma.
Overview
DNA repair protein that may operate in a postreplication repair or a cell cycle checkpoint function. May be implicated in interstrand DNA cross-link repair and in the maintenance of normal chromosome stability.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.73 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes genetic literature 0.83, affected pathway 0.26, literature 0.94, genetic association 0.25, somatic mutation 0.93, animal model 0.49).
- Target · the protein and the cell it sits on

Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: UniProt keyword "DNA repair". Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
