ATM Variants in Radiotherapy Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the baseline incidence of variant alleles in the ATM and/or other DNA repair genes present in the Native American population versus the non-Native American population. It is thought that a higher baseline incidence of the variant alleles in the ATM gene may correlate to higher rates and higher grades of radiation toxicities noted in the Native American population.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- to determine baseline incidence of variant alleles in ATM [one blood draw]
to determine the baseline incidence of variant alleles in ATM resent in the population of Native americans with cancer who are undergoing radiation therapy to a similar group of non-native americans who have undergone or are undergoing raditohterapy
Secondary Outcome Measures
- to compare the baseline incidence of variant alleles in ATM [one blood draw]
to compare the baseline incidence of variant alleles in ATM resent in the population of Native americans with cancer who are undergoing radiation therapy to a similar group of non-native americans who have undergone or are undergoing raditohterapy
