Brief description Bloom�s Syndrome is a rare inherited disorder that results in greater than 90% risk of developing cancer by the age of 25. The gene that causes Bloom�s Syndrome, called BLM, protects cells from cancer-causing mutations hence affected individuals develop the same types of cancers as the general population, only much faster. We will investigate the properties of the BLM gene product and understand how it protects us from cancer, and may influence some forms of cancer treatment.
