Abstract excerpt
A high frequency of spontaneous chromosomal breakage, endomitosis, endoreduplication and hypersensitivity toward both the alkylating agent Trenimon and the radiomimetric drug bleomycin was observed in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated peripheral lymphocytes from a girl with craniosynostosis, microcephaly, ptosis, bird-like facies, and moderate mental retardation. We also observed abnormal chromosomal spiralization...
