Heterozygous carriers of Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome have a distinct gene expression phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Autosomal recessive diseases are those that require mutations in both alleles to exhibit the disorder. Although most recessive conditions are rare, heterozygous carriers of recessive mutations are quite common. In this study, we show that carriers of Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome (NBS) have a distinct gene expression phenotype that differs from that of noncarriers and also from that of carriers of a similar...
