Subjects with mutations in the Ataxia-Telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene encoding for ATM kinase have a greater predisposition to develop atherosclerosis, but the mechanism behind this phenomenon is not yet understood. NADPH oxidase type 2 may play a role in this process, leading to endothelial dysfunction and an increased susceptibility to thrombosis. The purpose of this study was to assess the redox state in individuals with ATM mutations and determine its impact on endothelial function.
