Heterozygous germline BLM mutations increase susceptibility to asbestos and mesothelioma

Rare biallelic BLM gene mutations cause Bloom syndrome. Whether BLM heterozygous germline mutations (BLM(+/−)) cause human cancer remains unclear. We sequenced the germline DNA of 155 mesothelioma patients (33 familial and 122 sporadic). We found 2 deleterious germline BLM(+/−) mutations within 2 of...
