The role of ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) heterozygotes in breast cancer has been controversial. We have found previously an overrepresentation (3.4%) of ATM mutations in a subset of 88 selected breast cancer patients with a family history of breast cancer, leukemia, and lymphoma. This prevalence is
It has previously been reported that KU60019, as a highly effective radiosensitizer, inhibits the DNA damage response and blocks radiation-induced phosphorylation of key ataxia telangiectasia mutated targets in human glioma cells. The present study investigated whether KU60019 affects cell
The ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein plays a central role in DNA damage response and cell cycle checkpoints, and may be a promising target for cancer therapy if normal tissue toxicity could be avoided. The strategy presented here to target ATM for breast cancer therapy involves the use of
BACKGROUND
Mutations in the ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) gene cause an autosomal recessive syndrome in homozygotes and compound heterozygotes and predispose female heterozygous carriers to breast cancer. No environmental agent has been previously shown to increase the risk of cancer for women who
Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) cells exist under a constant state of oxidative stress with high levels of reactive oxygen species, which are removed by cellular antioxidant vitamins. We investigated the independent and combined effect of antioxidant vitamins intake and the ATM genotype or
We investigated the correlation of ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) protein expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with breast cancer. ATM expression was determined by immunohistochemistry in 420 surgically resected breast tumors. ATM loss was observed in 126/407
BACKGROUND
Cells harboring BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations are hypersensitive to inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). We recently showed that interference with PARP-1 activity by NU1025 is strongly cytotoxic for BRCA1-positive BT-20 cells but not BRCA1-deficient SKBr-3 cells. These unexpected
BACKGROUND
Severe early and late radiation reaction to radiotherapy is extremely rare in breast cancer patients. Such a reaction prompted an investigation into a 44-year-old mother (patient A-T213).
METHODS
A neurological examination was performed and blood lymphocytes and skin fibroblasts were
Heterozygotes for ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) are known to have an increased risk of breast cancer. The gene (or genes) responsible for almost all cases of AT has been localised to chromosome 11q by genetic linkage analysis. To examine the possibility that AT heterozygosity may account for a
Patients who are homozygous for ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) have an exceptionally high incidence of cancer. Heterozygous individuals for the disease have been reported to be at an increased risk of cancer, particularly breast cancer in female carriers. We have analyzed eight Norwegian families with
OBJECTIVE
To determine if clinical radiosensitivity in breast cancer patients is related to mutations of the ataxia telangiectasia gene (ATM).
METHODS
Fifteen patients who had developed a severe late reaction to a standard radiotherapy schedule were examined for evidence of increased in vitro
Recent reports suggest that subjects who are heterozygous for the ataxia-telangiectasia gene are at increased risk of breast cancer. We conducted linkage analyses of 64 families with premenopausal bilateral breast cancer using DRD2, a marker linked to the ataxia-telangiectasia locus at 11q22-23. We
The role of the Ataxia-telangiectaisa mutated (ATM) gene, as a risk factor for breast cancer has been a consistent theme in the literature since the first reports by Swift and colleagues who reported that ATM heterozygotes in AT families had increased risks of developing breast cancer. Loss of
Biallelic mutations in the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene result in ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). Studies on A-T families have shown that obligate female carriers have increased risk of developing breast cancer. Here we have evaluated the role of known Finnish ATM germ line mutations as
OBJECTIVE
Several epidemiological studies have investigated the association between ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene polymorphisms and breast cancer risk. However, published data are still inconclusive and there are no such studies for Taiwan. Thus, the polymorphic variants of ATM were
