Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome Clinico-cytogenetic Pattern

چکیده
Here we report an 8 years old girl who had post natal growth deficiency, microcephaly, facial dysmorphism, partial syndactyly of the second and third toes, susceptibility to infections, leukocytosis, immunodeficiency, adenopathy, but now sign of telangiectasia, ataxia and in evolution developed malignancy. Chromosomal analysis showed anomalies. By combining clinical manifestations and laboratory findings including cytogenetic findings and taking in account the evolution of the patient, we sustain the diagnosis of Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome.

A variant of the Nijmegen breakage syndrome with unusual cytogenetic features and intermediate cellular radiosensitivity.
We report the first Italian case of Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS). The proband is an immunodeficient, microcephalic, 11 year old boy with a "bird-like" face. He developed a T cell rich B cell lymphoma. Spontaneous chromosomal instability was detected in T and B lymphocytes and fibroblasts; chromosomes 7 and 14 were only sporadically involved in the rearrangements and no clonal abnormality wa...
متن کاملNibrin, a Novel DNA Double-Strand Break Repair Protein, Is Mutated in Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome
Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is an autosomal recessive chromosomal instability syndrome characterized by microcephaly, growth retardation, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition. Cells from NBS patients are hypersensitive to ionizing radiation with cytogenetic features indistinguishable from ataxia telangiectasia. We describe the positional cloning of a gene encoding a novel protein, n...

EDITOR—Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is a rare autosomal recessive chromosomal instability disorder characterised by microcephaly, immunodeficiency, x ray hypersensitivity, and predisposition to malignancy. The gene responsible for NBS, NBS1, is located on chromosome 8q21 and encodes a protein called nibrin. This protein is a component of the hMre11/hRad50 protein complex, suggesting defecti...

The Nijmegen breakage syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive chromosomal instability disorder characterized by early growth retardation, congenital microcephaly, immunodeficiency, borderline mental development, and a high tendency to lymphoreticular malignancies. Most Nijmegen breakage syndrome patients are of Slavonic origin, and all of them known so far carry a founder homozygous 5 nucleotide...
متن کاملDNA repair: The Nijmegen breakage syndrome protein
The gene mutated in Nijmegen breakage syndrome, a chromosome instability disorder, has been identified and sequenced. The protein product of this gene forms a complex with hMre11 and hRad50--proteins that are involved in repairing double-strand breaks in DNA.
