A case of a young white female with AT who developed hepatocellular carcinoma along with significantly elevated levels of alpha fetoprotein is presented.
In spite of many resemblances, this syndrome differs from classical or complete ataxia telangiectasia in that oculocutaneous telangiectases were lacking, the serum IgA and alpha-fetoprotein levels in this family were normal, there was no gonadal dysgenesis, and the cytogenetic findings were atypical.
A fetus 'at-risk' for ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) was monitored prenatally by several approaches which, in concert, might yield information of diagnostic value: measurement of amniotic fluid AFP levels; the clastogenic potential of 'at-risk' amniotic fluid; and cytogenic evaluation of fetal amniocytes.
Furthermore, simian virus 40 transformation of normal and radiosensitive cells (XP, ataxia telangiectasia) provokes a decrease in catalase activity of about 80% compared to the control derivatives.
Cloned genomic DNA for human histone H1, H3 and H4 genes has been used to determine the effects of gamma-radiation on histone mRNA levels and synthesis in ataxia-telangiectasia cells.
We have previously shown that the cytogenetic breakpoints of one t(14;14)(q11;q32) chromosome and two inv(14)(q11;q32) chromosomes in T-cell tumors from AT and non-AT patients join the T-cell receptor alpha chain locus, at chromosome band 14q11, with a region(s) at 14q32 centromeric of the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (VH) gene IGHV.

Molecular characterization of different ataxia telangiectasia T-cell clones. I. A common breakpoint at the 14q11.2 band splits the T-cell receptor alpha-chain gene.
Four strains demonstrated RDS that was less pronounced than in most AT cells: one was from a patient with Nijmegen breakage syndrome, one was from a patient without ataxia but with choreiform movement disorder, telangiectasia, and elevated concentrations of alpha-fetoprotein in the blood, and two were from AT patients.
