Linkage disequilibrium pattern of the <it>ATM </it>gene in breast cancer patients and controls; association of SNPs and haplotypes to radio-sensitivity and post-lumpectomy local recurrence

Linkage disequilibrium pattern of the <it>ATM </it>gene in breast cancer patients and controls; association of SNPs and haplotypes to radio-sensitivity and post-lumpectomy local recurrence

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The ATM protein is activated as a result of ionizing radiation, and genetic variants of the <it>ATM </it>gene may therefore affect the level of radiation-induced damage. Individuals heterozygous for <it>ATM </it&...
