MRE11 and ataxia-telangiectasia-like disorder: Uziel et al. (2003) recently showed that the ATM response to DSBs is impaired in ATLD cells, which carry defective Mre11. After our work was completed, additional studies reached similar conclusions using Mre11- or Nbs1-deficient cells (Carson et al. 2003; Mochan et al. 2003; Theunissen et al. 2003).
