CUI: C0004135
Disease: Ataxia Telangiectasia
Ataxia Telangiectasia
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Nineteen cases presented with non-conclusive results, mostly due to poor mitogen response; however, a combination of cell-cycle data with serum AFP concentrations led to the exclusion of AT in all but two of the uncertain cases. 16411093 2006
