ATM encodes a kinase central to the DNA double-strand break response. Monoallelic variants confer a moderate cancer risk; biallelic variants cause ataxia-telangiectasia.

InheritanceDominant (moderate risk); recessive for ataxia-telangiectasia
Clinical spectrumBreast, pancreas (heterozygous carriers)
ManagementTailored breast surveillance; caution with radiation in biallelic individuals.
