The three-way differentiation of sister chromatids (3-way SCD) in M3 endoreduplicated chromosomes in a Bloom syndrome (BS) B-lymphoid cell line, suggested that in addition to exchanges between sister chromatids (intra-exchanges), non-sister chromatid exchanges (inter-exchanges) also occur, especially in BS high SCE cells. In BS diploid chromosomes such inter-exchanges probably get confused with intra-exchanges when total SCEs are accounted for. Bloom syndrome high SCE cells probably do not follow the same bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) uptake pattern over three cell cycles as normal cells. The 3-way SCD in M3 endoreduplicated chromosomes can be explained on the basis of Schvartzman's second model (1979) as well as Miller's model (1976), depending on the pattern of uptake of BrdU over three cell cycles. An interference in the previous events of exchanges in the following cell cycle (i.e., cancellation of SCEs) in BS chromosomes was observed in some regions, though not in high numbers.
