The development of a differential assay for the determination of ataxia-telangiectasia heterozygosity in human subjects
2008-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Ataxia-telagiectasia (A-T) patients exhibit increased sensitivity to ionising radiation and also demonstrate a higher than normal risk of developing cancer. Heterozygote phenotypes exhibit intermediate levels of radiation sensitivity compared to A-T homozygotes and controls and also have an increased risk of cancer, but are asymptomatic. Radiation used in diagnostic procedures could predispose such individuals to...
