Abstract excerpt
The presence of increased frequencies of blood-derived and solid tumors in ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) patients, coupled with a role for the ATM (A-T mutation) protein in detecting specific forms of DNA damage, has led to the assumption of a mutator phenotype in A TM-deficient cells. Supporting this assumption are observations of increased rates of chromosomal aberrations and intrachromosomal homologous...
