โฆ Synopsis
X-ray induced chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes as well as in skin fibroblasts from ataxia telangiectasia patients, and from normal individuals were studied. At all stages of cell cycles-namely G0, G1, and G2, more aberrations were induced in AT cells than in normal cells. In addition, AT cells were sensitive to induction of chromosomal aberrations by tritium beta rays from incorporated radioactive thymidine. Possible reasons for the increased sensitivity of AT cells for induction of chromosomal aberrations by ionizing radiations are discussed.

Using in situ chromosomal hybridization we have mapped the gene for the T-cell receptor alpha-chain in three different non-malignant T-cell clones occurring in ataxia telangiectasia. The constant region was translocated in each of the three clones. The variable region remained in its original positi
It has been shown that the X-ray-sensitive Chinese hamster V79 mutants (V-E5, V-C4 and V-G8) are similar to ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) cells. To determine whether the AT-like rodent cell mutants are defective in the gene homologous to A-T (group A, C or D), human chromosome 11 was introduced to the
