DNA polymerases alpha beta and gamma in inherited diseases affecting DNA repair.

Abstract

Fibroblasts derived from patients with diseases affecting DNA repair processes, such as Xeroderma Pigmentosum (classical and variant), Fanconi's anemia, Bloom's syndrome, Ataxia Telangiectasica, Progeria and Werner's syndrome, were assayed for the three DNA polymerases. The specific activities of these enzymes were found within the limits observed in normal human fibroblasts. Also the sedimentation properties of the three polymerases were unaltered.
