Abstract

The human genetic disorder ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a multisystem disease characterized by extreme radiosensitivity. The recent identification of the gene mutated in A-T, ATM, and the demonstration that it encodes a homologous of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K), the catalytic subunit of an enzyme involved in transmitting signals from the cell surface to the nucleus, provides support for a role for this gene in signal transduction.(omitted)
