Discovery of AT gene sparks biomedical research bonanza

Article Abstract:

Researchers led by geneticist Yosef Shiloh have identified a gene that when defective causes ataxia telangiectasia or breast cancer. The gene may play a role in detecting DNA damage and blocking cell growth until the damage is repaired.
