## Abstract It has been proposed that women carrying heterozygous mutations of the __ATM__ gene could be at increased risk of developing breast cancer. However, data in the literature are contrasting and no firm conclusion has been reached. Our aim was to verify whether __ATM__ inactivation could p
p53 status was tested in 180 patients with primary breast cancer using a yeast functional assay. Mutations were identified in 32% of cases. Only half were point missense mutations; the remainder were nonsense, insertion, deletion and splice site mutations. Twenty-two percent of mutations were locate
Epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of breast cancer in obligate ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) heterozygotes. We analyzed 100 samples from young breast cancer patients for mutations in ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM), the gene responsible for the autosomal recessive condition, A-T
