The successful treatment of Hodgkin's disease has been associated with an increased incidence of secondary malignancies. To investigate whether genetic factors contribute to the development of secondary tumors, we collected family cancer histories and performed mutational analysis of the ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) gene, ATM, in a cohort of Hodgkin's disease survivors with secondary malignancies. ATM was chosen for evaluation because of the increased radiosensitivity of cells derived from AT patients and obligate heterozygotes and the epidemiologic observation that AT carriers are at increased risk for radiation-induced breast cancer.
