♀	phenotype observed in females
♂	phenotype observed in males
N	normal phenotype

cellular

spontaneous chromosome breakage ( J:150339 )

• genomic stability is disrupted in activated B cells with chromosome breakage occurring in close to half of cells

• B cells undergoing class switch recombination have even greater increased risk of chromosome breakage due to aberrations at the Igh locus

• there is also increased breakage at the Igk and Igl loci with 1% of stimulated B cells demonstrating this

• Igl breaks in activated B cells are frequently fused to AID-dependent Igh breaks in the same cell to form chromosome 12/16 translocations

• there is also a five-fold increase in Igh-Myc translocations activated B cells compared to controls

hematopoietic system

abnormal class switch recombination ( J:150339 )

• class switch recombination often leads to chromosome breakage at the Igh locus

immune system

abnormal class switch recombination ( J:150339 )

• class switch recombination often leads to chromosome breakage at the Igh locus
