  • Title: The Chinese hamster cell mutant V-H4 is homologous to Fanconi anemia (complementation group A).
    Author: Arwert F, Rooimans MA, Westerveld A, Simons JW, Zdzienicka MZ.

    Abstract:
    V-H4, a mitomycin C (MMC)-sensitive Chinese hamster cell mutant, is phenotypically very similar to Fanconi anemia (FA) cells. Genetic complementation analysis shows that V-H4 belongs to the same complementation group as FA group A cells. Proliferating hybrid cell lines obtained after fusion of V-H4 with normal or FA group B cells show an increased resistance to MMC. Absence of complementation was noted in V-H4 x FA group A hybrid cell lines. This was shown not to be due to the absence of a specific human chromosome. The V-H4 mutant represents the first rodent mutant that is genotypically similar to FA complementation group A cells.
