Abstract excerpt
We have obtained initial evidence supporting a new model for the human disease ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), in which the A-T and p53 genes play crucial roles in a signal transduction network that activates multiple cellular functions in response to DNA damage. Three of the model's predictions were tested. (1) Disrupting cell cycle checkpoints should increase spontaneous rates in normal cells. In order to...
