[Ataxia-telangiectasia with immunodeficiency and malignant lymphoma. Report of two cases (author's transl)]. 1981

F Salinas, and G Ortega, and M Molina, and J Garre, and A Navarrete, and V Pérez, and R Carmena

Two patients with the clinical diagnosis of ataxia-telangectasia are reported. Both had a mixed partial immunodeficiency characterized by selective absence or deficiency of IgA and anergy to cutaneous antigens. During the course of their disease both patients developed a poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma of intraabdominal location. One of the patients died from infectious complications after receiving the first course of chemotherapy, while the second one remains alive under treatment. The high incidence of lymphoreticular neoplasms in early life in these patients with a genetically deficient immune system is commented upon along with the fact that, in spite of that, the pathogenesis of the syndrome remains unknown.

D001260 Ataxia Telangiectasia An autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterized by choreoathetosis beginning in childhood, progressive CEREBELLAR ATAXIA; TELANGIECTASIS of CONJUNCTIVA and SKIN; DYSARTHRIA; B- and T-cell immunodeficiency, and RADIOSENSITIVITY to IONIZING RADIATION. Affected individuals are prone to recurrent sinobronchopulmonary infections, lymphoreticular neoplasms, and other malignancies. Serum ALPHA-FETOPROTEINS are usually elevated. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p688) The gene for this disorder (ATM) encodes a cell cycle checkpoint protein kinase and has been mapped to chromosome 11 (11q22-q23).
