What is happening in the DNA of ataxia telangiectasia?
Ataxia-telangiectasia is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Both copies of the ATM gene in each cell have mutations.The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one copy of the mutated gene, but do not show signs and symptoms of the condition.The ATM protein assists cells in recognizing damaged or broken DNA strands and helps DNA repair by activating enzymes that fix the broken strands.But mutations in the ATM gene eliminate the function of the ATM protein.Cells in the part of the brain involved in coordinating movement and balance (the cerebellum) are particularly affected by loss of the ATM protein.
