Chenevix-Trench et al. (1) reported two ATM gene alterations associated with a risk of breast cancer in multiple-case families. The T7271G mutation was detected in one patient with breast cancer of 525 examined who were unselected for a family history of breast cancer and in four more affected family members (1). This transversion was previously found in two families with mild ataxia-telangiectasia
