Table 3.
Strongly reduced recovery of DNA synthesis after 3J/m2 of UV-irradiation in patients with CS compared to positive controls (known CS patients) and negative controls (normal individuals).
| Patients | % of Recovery of DNA synthesis at 17 hrs after UV (3J/m2) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Our patients | Known CS patients | Normal controls | |
| Patient (1) | 13 | 14 | 80 |
| Patient (3) | 13 | 15 | 88 |
| Patient (5) | 15 | 22 | 74 |
| Patient (7) | 24 | 26 | 67 |
It can be noticed that normal cells can recover 67 to 88% of DNA compared to only 13-24% in patients with CS.
