Familial Ataxia-telangiectasia.

چکیده
A familial syndrome of progressive cerebellar ataxia and choreoathetosis, associated with oculocutaneous telangiectasia and recurrent sinobronchitis in childhood, has recently been described in the American literature. The close similarity of the clinical features observed by Boder and Sedgwick (1957, 1958), Wells and Shy (1957), Biedmond (1957), Centerwall and Miller (1958) and Ford (1960) leave no doubt that this represents a new clinical entity to which the two brothers reported here belong. Credit for the first published description belongs to Mme. Louis-Bar (1941).

gamma-Ray sensitivity for cell killing was assayed in 54 human cell strains, including some derived from individuals suffering from certain heritable diseases. The overall range of Do values in this study was 38 to 180 rads, indicating a considerable range of variability in humans. The normal sensitivity was described by a range of Do values of 97 to 180 rads. All ten ataxia telangiectasia cell...
