Abstract excerpt
Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is a hereditary disease with autosomal recessive inheritance of ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutation) alleles. AT is associated with severe sensitivity to ionizing radiation and a strong predisposition to develop cancer. A modest increase in cancer, particularly for the breast, has been shown for ATM carriers (i.e. heterozygotes), and a modest increase in radiation sensitivity has also...
