Abstract excerpt
Affected and unaffected members of a Caucasian family with Werner syndrome were analyzed for mutations in the recently described Werner syndrome (WRN) gene and for their relevance to phenotypic expression of chromosomal instability and x-ray hypersensitivity. Two distinct molecular alterations were documented in the family. Analysis of the genomic DNA revealed a single-base exchange from A to T at an intron-exon...
