Abstract excerpt
The frequency of spontaneous 6-thioguanine (TG)-resistant peripheral blood lymphocytes in five unrelated Werner syndrome (WS) patients was determined using an autoradiographic labeling assay. The average frequency of TG-resistant lymphocytes was eightfold higher in WS patients than in sex- and age-matched normal control donors. This finding and previous identification of increased spontaneous chromosomal...
