Abstract excerpt
Two missense mutations occurring in different alleles of the DNA ligase I gene, encoding the major DNA ligase in proliferating mammalian cells, were detected in a human fibroblast strain (46BR). These cells exhibit retarded joining of Okazaki fragments during DNA replication and hypersensitivity to a variety of DNA-damaging agents. 46BR was derived from a patient who displayed symptoms of immunodeficiency,...
