Tree Number(s): C10.228.140.252.190.530.060; C10.562.100; C10.597.350.090.500.530.060; C14.907.823.213; C16.320.080; C16.320.798.250; C18.452.284.060; C20.673.795.250
Unique ID: D001260
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D001260
Scope Note: An autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterized by choreoathetosis beginning in childhood, progressive CEREBELLAR ATAXIA; TELANGIECTASIS of CONJUNCTIVA and SKIN; DYSARTHRIA; B- and T-cell immunodeficiency, and RADIOSENSITIVITY to IONIZING RADIATION. Affected individuals are prone to recurrent sinobronchopulmonary infections, lymphoreticular neoplasms, and other malignancies. Serum ALPHA-FETOPROTEINS are usually elevated. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p688) The gene for this disorder (ATM) encodes a cell cycle checkpoint protein kinase and has been mapped to chromosome 11 (11q22-q23).
