Cancer susceptibility in ataxia-telangiectasia.

Leukemia - 1 Jan 1992

Peterson R D, Funkhouser J D, Tuck-Muller C M, Gatti R A

Abstract excerpt

Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a syndrome that has an extremely high incidence of cancer. Patients with the disease are homozygous for a mutant gene, the A-T gene, located at 11q23. Of these individuals, 30-40% develop cancer. Of these cancers, 80% are lymphoid. Those heterozygous for the A-T gene also have an increased frequency of cancer, the most notable being the 6.8-fold increase of breast cancer in females...
