Information:
Bloom's syndrome (BS) is a rare human autosomal recessive disorder belonging to a group of 'chromosomal breakage syndromes''. BS is characterized by marked genetic instability, including a high level of sister chromatid exchanges, associated with a greatly increased predisposition to a wide range of cancers commonly affecting the general population. The constant clinical features of BS are proportionate pre- and postnatal growth retardation and cancer predisposition. BS arises through mutations in both copies of the BLM gene. In Ashkenazi Jewish population, the frequency of BS is approximately 1 in 48000. This is due to a founder effect, approximately 1% of the Ashkenazi Jewish population being heterozygous carriers for the blmAsh mutation.
