ATM contributes to radioresistance of several cancer cell types (Tribius et al., 2001; ZHOU et al., 2013; Bernardino-Sgherri et al., 2021; Cao et al., 2021; Zhang et al., 2022), resulting in an important pathway for DSB repair (Helleday, 2010), as also confirmed by García et al., 2022. The gene discussed is ATM; the disease is cancer.
