The gene ATM (Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated) was discovered in 1995 in Israel. It is a complex gene and...the protein it encodes has an important role in the process of cell division and repair of DNA double-stranded breaks.
So even if Ataxia Telangiectasia remains an orphan disease, understanding the role of the ATM gene is essential in the fight against many other diseases much more extensive.
