PCR conditions:
PCR was performed in Applied Biosystems PE9700 system using 96-well plates. PCR reactions (final volume 25  l) contained 0.5 units Platinum Taq polymerase (Invitrogen), 1,5 mM MgCl2, 0.2 mM NTPs (Invitrogen), and 10 pmol primer.
For the large majority of amplicons, standard PCR conditions were used: preheat 95°C, 5 min, denaturation 95°C, 30 sec, annealing 60°C, 30 sec., elongation 72°C, 1 min, number of cycles: 33.
Fragments with a different annealing temperature were FANCA exons 5, 7, 13, 21, 26, 31, and 38, FANCC exon 7, FANCF fragment 1d and FANCE exon 1 : 55°C; FANCA exon 1 : 64°C. For FANCE exon 1 the PCR mix was supplemented with 10% DMSO.
For FANCB different PCR conditions were used: preheat 95°C, 5 min, denaturation 95°C, 1 min, annealing 50°C, 1 min., elongation 72°C, 1 min., number of cycles 30. For FANCB exon 7 and 9 the annealing temperature was 55°C. For sequencing of exon 7 forward, a special sequencing primer was used: 5′-TTTTTAGAAGGAATGTCTTG-3′.
FA gene specific part of the primer is indicated in capitals. Primers are extended with M13 sequence (indicated in normal letter type), which is used for the sequencing reaction.
