Abstract excerpt
Investigators have demonstrated that the mutagen sensitivity assay, based on the quantification of bleomycin (BLM)-induced chromatid breaks in short-term cultured peripheral lymphocytes, can be a marker of cancer susceptibility. Although many factors can contribute to variability in human biomonitoring studies, genetic susceptibility (the influence of polymorphic metabolising genes on response to environmental...
