Abstract excerpt
Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is a rare genetic instability syndrome associated with a high incidence of lymphoid malignancies. The NBS1 protein has been implicated in telomere biology suggesting that cells from NBS patients might have deficient telomere maintenance capacity. In this study we characterized spontaneously immortalized T-cell lines derived from three NBS patients regarding growth characteristics,...
