Ataxia‐telangiectasia, cancer and the pathobiology of the <i>ATM</i> gene
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a pleiotropic inherited disease characterized by neurodegeneration, cancer, immunodeficiencies, radiation sensitivity, and genetic instability. Although A-T homozygotes are rare, the A-T gene may play a role in sporadic breast cancer and leukemia.
