Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome (NBS) is a Telomeropathy: Analysis of Telomere Length in NBS Homo- and Heterozygotes and Humanized Nbs Mice
2019-03-07
Abstract excerpt
The autosomal recessive genetic disorder Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is characterized by a defect in DNA double-strand break repair protein nibrin and chromosome instability associated with a high predisposition to cancer. Here we hypothesized that impaired nibrin/MRE11/RAD50 telomere maintenance complex may also affect telomere length and modulate the cancer phenotype. Telomere length was studied in blood fr...
