Which pathway is affected by an inherited mutation in the ATM gene?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The inherited mutation in the ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) gene affects the p53 repair pathway, which is responsible for detecting and repairing DNA damage. Individuals with mutations in the ATM gene are unable to activate the p53 pathway properly, which increases their risk of developing cancer. Therefore, the correct choice is C. The other options are not related to the ATM gene mutation.
