Two sibling brothers have been previously diagnosed as Bloom's Syndrome (BS).

This study examined the immune reactions of these siblings with such tests of immune function as: T- and B-cells, T-cell subsets, chemotaxis, nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT), mitogen stimulation and mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC). Findings. Results are compared with those of other known BS subjects. Analysis of our patients' immune systems seems to agree with findings of previous studies. Conclusion.
