Autosomal recessive Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T) is characterized by radiosensitivity, immunodeficiency and cerebellar neurodegeneration. A-T is caused by inactivating mutations in the Ataxia-Telangiectasia-Mutated (ATM) gene, a serine-threonine protein kinase involved in DNA-damage response and excitatory neurotransmission. The selective vulnerability of cerebellar Purkinje neurons (PN) to A-T is not well understood.
