Abstract excerpt
The mutant frequency (MF) in the hypoxanthine-guanine-phosphoribosyl-transferase (HPRT) locus of peripheral blood T-lymphocytes was measured in a population environmentally exposed to vinyl chloride - a toxic and carcinogenic substance through an accidental release into the atmosphere. It was compared to MF in a control group of unexposed individuals. Both groups were re-investigated in a follow-up study, 2 years...
