Sister chromatid exchange frequencies in Progeria and Werner syndrome patients.

G J Darlington, R Dutkowski, W T Brown
PMCID: PMC1685120  PMID: 7294025

Abstract

An analysis of the baseline and mitomycin-C-induced sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies in peripheral lymphocytes derived from three patients with progeria and three Werner syndrome patients is presented. SCE frequencies did not differ significantly between the two groups of patients and their normal controls.
