Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the ATM gene (mutated in ataxia telangiectasia [AT] patients) and ATM protein deficiency occur in 14% and 34%, respectively, of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). ATM protein deficiency also is associated with aggressive disease and worse patient survival. Considering the aberrations in the ATM gene in CLL and the high rate of incidence of lymphoid...
