hereditary ataxias are heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders classified mainly into more than 40 autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias and 50 recessive ataxias. large amount of nearly uncommon subtypes with extensive phenotypic overlap and relatively high rate of abnormal repetitive sequence expansions, such as trinucleotide repeat expansions make diagnostic genetic testing complic...

This report discusses the performance and sources of protocol overhead in ATM networks. It rst introduces ATM followed by a description of the inhouse ATM network. Our primary goal was to study the performance tradeoo of chosing TCP/IP versus ATM API in a local ATM network.

Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein kinase regulates the DNA damage response (DDR) and is associated with cancer suppression. Here we report a cancer-promoting role for ATM. ATM depletion in metastatic cancer cells reduced cell migration and invasion. Transcription analyses identified a gene network, including the chemokine IL-8, regulated by ATM. IL-8 expression required ATM and was re...

The gene mutated in ataxia telangiectasia, ATM, on human chromosome 11q22-q23 is implicated in cell cycle control and DNA repair. Ataxia telangiectasia patients as well as ATM-deficient mice are immune deficient and develop lymphoproliferative disease. Abnormalities in 11q22.3-q23.1 have also been described in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). We analyzed B-CLL samples for loss of he...

Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) plays crucial roles in DNA damage responses, especially with regard to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). However, it appears that ATM can be activated not only by DSB, but also by some changes in chromatin architecture, suggesting potential ATM function in cell cycle control. Here, we found that ATM is involved in timely degradation of Cdt1, a critical replica...

BACKGROUND Ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) gene downexpression has been reported in sporadic breast carcinomas (BC); however, the prognostic value and mechanisms of ATM deregulation remain unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS ATM and miRNAs (miR-26a, miR-26b, miR-203, miR-421, miR-664, miR-576-5p and miR-18a) expression levels were evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) in 52 BC and 3...

Location management is one of the most important aspects in the realization of mobility in wireless networks. Following developments of ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) technology, more core networks become ATM-based. Therefore, the demand of mobility on wireless networks with ATM backbones is increasing. In recent years, several location management schemes have been proposed for classical wire...

Disruption of the mouse Atm gene, whose human counterpart is consistently mutated in ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) patients, creates an A-T mouse model exhibiting most of the A-T-related systematic and cellular defects. While ATM plays a major role in signaling the p53 response to DNA strand break damage, Atm-/- p53(-/-) mice develop lymphomas earlier than Atm-/- or p53(-/-) mice, indicating that...
