Abstract excerpt
Cells from persons with Bloom syndrome feature an elevated rate of sister-chromatid exchange (SCE). However, in some affected persons a minority of blood lymphocytes have a normal SCE rate. Persons who inherit the Bloom syndrome gene BLM identical by descent from a common ancestor very rarely exhibit this high-SCE/low-SCE mosaicism; conversely, mosaicism arises predominantly in persons who do not share a common...
