Gene expression phenotype in heterozygous carriers of ataxia telangiectasia.

Abstract excerpt

The defining characteristic of recessive diseases is the absence of a phenotype in the heterozygous carriers. Nonetheless, subtle manifestations may be detectable by new methods, such as expression profiling. Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is a typical recessive disease, and individual carriers cannot be reliably identified. As a group, however, carriers of an AT disease allele have been reported to have a phenotype...
