title: DNA repair: the Nijmegen breakage syndrome protein.
abstract: The gene mutated in Nijmegen breakage syndrome, a chromosome instability disorder, has been identified and sequenced. The protein product of this gene forms a complex with hMre11 and hRad50--proteins that are involved in repairing double-strand breaks in DNA.
