Abstract excerpt
Etheno adducts are promutagenic lesions which generate point mutations, deletions, homologous recombination and gross structural DNA aberrations. High ratios of chromosome loss to forward mutations characterize vinyl bromide, vinyl chloride, ethyl carbamate, vinyl carbamate and its epoxide as effective clastogens in postmeiotic germ cells of Drosophila melanogaster. Of the mutants induced by vinyl carbamate at...
