Abstract excerpt
Nijmegen breakage syndrome caused by NBS1 germline mutations is a rare autosomal recessive disease with clinical features that include microcephaly, increased radiosensitivity, and predisposition to cancer. NBS1 plays a key role in DNA double-strand break repair and the maintenance of genomic stability. We screened 87 glioblastomas for NBS1 mutations (all 16 exons). Single-strand conformation polymorphism...
