Descriptor ataxia telangiectasia
Entry term(s) síndrome de Louis-Bar
Scope note: Enfermedad hereditaria autosómica recesiva que se caracteriza por coreoatetosis de comienzo en la infancia, ataxia cerebelosa progresiva, telangiectasias de la conjuntiva y de la piel, disartria, inmunodeficiencia de las células B y T, y sensibilidad a las radiaciones ionizantes. Los individuos afectados son propensos a infecciones senobroncopulmonares recurrentes, neoplasias linforreticulares, y otras enfermedades malignas. Generalmente los niveles séricos de ALFA-FETOPROTEÍNAS estan elevados. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p688). Se ha cartografiado el gen de este trastorno en el brazo largo del cromosoma 11 (11q22.3).

Scope note: 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).
