Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) has been studied in the fibroblasts of five Bloom's syndrome patients, one heterozygote, and two normal individuals. The high frequency of SCE already known in the lymphocytes of Bloom's syndrome was also found in the fibroblasts of all five patients. However, populat

β¦ Synopsis
A delay in cell cycle progression and a decrease in sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency was observed in Bloom syndrome (BS) cells when exposed to polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatment followed by co-cultivation with unexposed normal cells, whereas the SCE rate of both normal and BS cells increased when PEG-exposed normal cells were co-cultured with unexposed BS high SCE cells. This indicates the role of normal cells, probably of cell membranes (which were disturbed or disrupted by PEG treatment), in complementing the deficiency of BS cells under co-culture conditions, and suggests that BS cells may be deficient in membrane bound factor(s) present in normal cells.

It is suggested that the somatic recombination observed in Bloom's syndrome and cells treated with mitomycin C may be the result of selection for recombination events that can occur only between homologous segments of DNA, rather than a result of somatic pairing in the nucleus.
Bloom's syndrome (BS) and EM9 cells both display elevated frequencies of sister chromatid exchange (SCE) following growth for two rounds of DNA replication in bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-containing medium. To learn whether hyperresponsiveness to BrdU itself might play a role in causing the SCE elevatio
Structural, and numeric chromosome aberrations (CA), sisterchromatid exchange (SCE), phytohe magglutinin stimulation (ti), proliferative rate index (PRI), and UV light-induced unscheduled DNA-synthesis (UDS) were investigated in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of 48 historical controls ("Controls
