Role of Postradiation Genome Instability in Evaluating the Development of Radiation-Determined Pathology in Children after the Chernobyl Accidentand Investigation Perspectives

Article Preview

Abstract:

The role of genetic instability (inferred from cytogenetic parameters of chromosome aberrations) and nuclear DNA repair activity play in radiation-determined diseases (neoplasms, including malignancies; congenital disorders and malformations; and chromosomal disorders) is considered in children from regions varying in extent of soil contamination with cesium-137 after the Chernobyl Accident.
