title: [Defect of preferential repair of gamma-ray-induced single-strand breaks in transcribed and non-transcribed DNA in Cockayne syndrome cells].
abstract: The repair of gamma-ray-induced DNA single-strand breaks in transcribed (protooncogene c-myc) and non-transcribed (human satellite III) DNA of normal human fibroblasts and fibroblasts obtained from a patient with Cockayne's syndrome (CS) has been investigated. A method of alkaline sucrose sedimentation was applied besides the Southern hybridization of 32P-DNA, containing sequences analysed with total 3H-DNA distributed through sucrose gradient fractions. No increase in the induction of DNA single-strand breaks was found in gamma-irradiated CS fibroblasts, compared to normal human fibroblasts. At the same time, an evident defect in the preferential repair of single-strand breaks in c-myc gene was observed.
