Abstract excerpt
We observed severe late effects in a patient treated with radiation therapy for breast cancer. Radiation survival studies of patient fibroblasts show an enhanced cellular radiation sensitivity (Do = 0.95 Gy). Genetic analysis reveals that the patient is heterozygous for a mutated ATM gene. Protein truncation test (PTT) and sequence analysis identified a truncation within the leucine zipper domain, corresponding...
