Abstract excerpt
Molecular analysis of mutations at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) locus in peripheral blood T-lymphocytes can provide information on mechanisms of somatic in vivo mutation in populations exposed to exogenous carcinogens and in individuals with inherent susceptibility to cancer and other diseases. To study possible mutational changes associated with smoking as a risk factor for lung...
