Abstract excerpt
BLM has been implicated in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair, but its precise role remains obscure. To explore this, we generated BLM(-/-) and BLM(-/-)LIG4(-/-) cells from the human pre-B cell line Nalm-6. BLM(-/-) cells exhibited retarded growth, increased mutation rates, and hypersensitivity to agents that block replication fork progression. Interestingly, these phenotypes were significantly suppressed by...
