📋Overview
Ataxia Telangiectasia is a genetic condition that primarily affects the nervous system and immune function. The disorder often involves a gradual loss of muscle coordination and the appearance of small, dilated blood vessels, known as telangiectasias, which may appear on the eyes or skin.
This condition arises from mutations in the ATM gene, which plays a role in DNA repair and the regulation of cell cycles. These genetic alterations can lead to cellular instability and increased sensitivity to external factors, impacting multiple physiological systems.
