Cultured lymphocytes from 9 patients with clinically different types of xeroderma pigmentosum were exposed to ultraviolet light at 24 h. An increased rate of sister chromatid exchanges were observed in 6 patients (128--148% increase in three, 34--51% in three), but not in three patients with deSanct

The frequency of SCE was investigated in peripheral lymphocytes of one patient with XP. Although lymphocytes did not show high levels of spontaneous chromosome damage, 10-s M Mitomycin C greatly increased the fi'equency of SCE, The results are interpreted as an expression of mutagen induced chromoso
An increase in the rate of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) was found when V79 Chinese hamster cells were exposed to increasingly severe degrees of arginine and lysine deficiency. The data suggest a possible function of chromosomal proteins, and of histones in particular, in the maintenance of the l
