Topic: Ataxia telangiectasia mutated


  
  Ataxia Telangiectasia: Fact Sheet - National Cancer Institute
Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a primary immunodeficiency disease which affects a number of different organs in the body.
Telangiectasias (tiny, red "spider" veins), which appear in the corners of the eyes or on the surface of the ears and cheeks, are characteristic of the disease, but are not always present and generally do not appear in the first years of life.
NCI is sponsoring a wide variety of research on A-T, DNA mutations and repair, and the interaction between ATM and mutations in BRCA1 and 2 (breast cancer susceptibility genes).

  Ataxia telangiectasia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AT is characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, oculocutaneous telangiectasia, progressive cerebellar dysfunction, and recurrent sinopulmonary infections secondary to progressive immunological and neurological dysfunction (Boder, 1958).
Oculo-cutaneous telangiectasia is often not obvious in the early stages of the disease.
Carriers of ATM missense mutations are believed to have a 60% penetrance by age 70 and a risk of breast cancer 16x that of the normal population.

 Ataxia (Ataxia-telangiectasia)
Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) is the most common inherited ataxia, with symptoms generally appearing between the ages of 8 and 15.
Ataxia can be caused by birth trauma, a congenital disorder, infection, a degenerative disorder, tumor, exposure to a toxic substance, or head injury.
Congenital ataxia is an autosomal recessive disease, which means that both parents must carry the defective gene and a child must inherit one defective gene copy from each parent to develop symptoms.

From this early stage, ataxia is associated with abnormal head movements and is slowly and steadily progressive; however, the normal development of motor skills between ages 2-5 years tends to mask the progression of ataxia, so that parents may report an actual improvement in gait.

Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a rare but deadly childhood disease that primarily affects the brain and immune system.
If someone inherits two changes (one from mother and one from father) in the ATM gene, the child will not be able to make enough of the ATM protein, which is critical for proper growth and maintenance of the body.
The trade-off is that mutation scanning is more likely to miss a change in the gene as compared to sequencing.
