Description

Description: Established by EBV transformation of mononuclear cells from the peripheral blood of a 13 year old female with Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) complementation group C. AT is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. Lymphocytes have been shown to be hypersensitive to cytotoxic and clastogenic effects of gamma and X rays. T cells from the same original sample have been used for studies of mutant frequency at the hprt locus, with cells being described as Donor 58 or Patient 2 (see Lancet 1985). Fibroblasts derived from the same individual were reported to have RNA and genomic DNA sequence changes (del, 9nt).
