High levels of the c-myc protein in cell lines of Bloom's syndrome origin
Abstract
Lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from cancer prone Bloom's Syndrome patients differ from cell lines representative of several other disorders by exhibiting a constitutive elevation in the level of the c-myc protein. This may be a contributing factor in the strong predisposition to malignancy observed in Bloom's syndrome.
