Abstract excerpt
Bloom syndrome (BS) is a human cancer-prone genetic disorder essentially characterized by a generalized genetic instability including a high level of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs). Although mutator and hyper-Rec phenotypes of BS cells present analogies with those of bacteria and yeast defective in DNA mismatch repair, we report that (CA)(n) microsatellite alterations are undetectable in BS cells. Thus, our...
