Assessment of carriers' frequency of a novel MRE11 mutation responsible for the rare ataxia telangiectasia-like disorder.

Abstract excerpt

Ataxia telangiectasia-like disorder (ATLD) is a very rare variant of ataxia telangiectasia. ATLD is caused by mutations in MRE11 gene. Recently, a new missense mutation, a G-to-C change at nucleotide 630 of the MRE11 gene, was described in 10 ATLD Saudi Arabian patients from three unrelated families. This is the biggest ATLD group of patients that may suggest noticeable heterozygous carriers of G630C mutation in...
