Abstract/Summary
|
-
Ataxia telangiectasia is a rare autosomal recessive multisystem disorder caused by mutations in the gene of ATM serine/threonine kinase. It is characterized by neurodegeneration, leading to severe ataxia, immunodeficiency, increased cancer susceptibility, and telangiectasia. Here, we discovered a co-segregation of two ATM gene variants with ataxia telangiectasia in an Egyptian family. While one of these variants (NM_000051.4(ATM_i001):p.(Val128*)) has previously been reported as pathogenic, the other one (NM_000051.4(ATM_i001):p.(Val1729Leu)) is regarded as a variant of uncertain significance. Our findings in this family provide additional evidence for causality of the second variant and argue that its status should be changed to pathogenic.
