pubmed:abstractText
Nijmegen breakage syndrome is an autosomal recessive chromosomal instability syndrome characterized by microcephaly, immunodeficiency, radiosensitivity, and predisposition to lymphoid malignancy. A truncating deletion [657del(5)] in exon 6 of the nibrin NBS1 gene is the most frequent cause of the syndrome. Slavic populations carry this mutation in a high frequency. Here, we present polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers as a method for the detection of Slavic NBS1 mutation and confirm the high carrier frequency in the Czech population (combined frequency from both studies: 1/106, 95% CI = 1/331 to 1/46).
