Abstract
The importance of chromosome instability in Bloom''s syndrome is reviewed, and the recently developed technique for demonstrating sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) is described. In Bloom''s syndrome, but not in other heritable syndromes associated with chromosome instability, there is a 9- to 10-fold increase in the frequency of spontaneous SCE. A case of Bloom''s syndrome is presented in which this test facilitated the diagnosis. In 4 obligate heterozygotes (the parents of children with Bloom''s syndrome), an increase in the frequency of spontaneous SCE was not observed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
