Abstract excerpt
Repair of DNA double-strand breaks is essential for maintenance of genomic stability, and is specifically required for rearrangement of immunoglobulin (Ig) and T cell receptor (TCR) loci during development of the immune system. Abnormalities in these repair processes also contribute to oncogenic chromosomal rearrangements that underlie many lymphoid malignancies. Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is a rare...
