Distribution of the allele carrying the two polymorphisms observed in XP4BE cells in the coding region of the gene for the catalytic subunit of pol δ
| Geno-typea | XP variant skin fibro-blasts | Tumor-derived cell line(s) | Normal cells |
|---|---|---|---|
| +/− | XP4BE | 2 osteosarcomas | 4 foreskin-derived fibroblast lines |
| XP1KA | 3 neurofibrosarcomas | Lymphoblastoid immortal line | |
| XP3RO | |||
| −/− | HFXP | Adenocarcinoma (HeLa) | |
| +/+ | XP115LO | 6 neurofibrosarcomas | 16 foreskin-derived fibroblast lines |
| XP5KA | 4 fibrosarcomas | 3 skin biopsy fibroblast cell lines | |
| XP6KA | 2 adenocarcinomas | Lymphoblastoid immortal line | |
| XP7TAC | Nephroblastoma, Wilms’ tumor |
+/+, two wild-type alleles; +/−, one allele with G · C→A · T transitions at positions 375 and 409; −/−, polymorphisms on both alleles. Homozygosity cannot be distinguished from hemizygosity.
