Map of synthetic rescue interactions for the Fanconi anemia DNA repair pathway identifies USP48

Fanconi anemia is a rare disease caused by defective DNA interstrand crosslink repair. Here the authors observe that USP48 deficiencies reduce chromosomal instability in FA-defective cells, suggesting it might be a potential therapeutic target.
