Abstract excerpt
Cells derived from patients with the cancer-prone inherited disorder ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) show an abnormal response to ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage, such as an increased cell killing and a diminished inhibition of DNA synthesis. The enhanced killing of A-T (group D) cells by X-rays can be corrected by multiple cDNAs, mapping to different chromosomes (6, 11, 17, and 18). In order to examine whether...
