ATM mutation and radiosensitivity: An opportunity in the therapy of mantle cell lymphoma.

Abstract excerpt

ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) is a DNA damage signaling-initiation kinase which has diverse function in responding to genotoxic stress to maintain its genomic integrity. Cells harboring loss-of-function ATM deficiencies demonstrate extreme radiosensitivity. The scope of radiotherapy has been considered very limited among patients with biallelic mutations or deletions of ATM due to its toxic effect on normal...
