Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), also known as ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) variant, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by microcephaly, growth retardation, severe combined immunodeficiency and a high incidence of lymphoid carcinoma, the majority of which are B-cell lymphomas. To determine whether the NBS1 gene is a tumor suppressor gene in B-cell lymphoma, we screened B-cell malignant lymphoma (ML) for any evidence of NBS1 mutation.
