Abstract excerpt
Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a human disease characterized by high cancer risk, immune defects, radiation sensitivity, and genetic instability. Although A-T homozygotes are rare, the A-T gene may play a role in sporadic breast cancer and other common cancers. Abnormalities of DNA repair, genetic recombination, chromatin structure, and cell cycle checkpoint control have been proposed as the underlying defect in...
