DNA damage-related RNA expression to assess individual sensitivity to ionizing radiation
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
Predictive markers of intrinsic radiosensitivity in healthy individuals are needed in monitoring their occupational or environmental radiation exposure and may predict a patient's response to radiotherapy. Ionizing radiation can induce a large spectrum of DNA lesions, but under optimal DNA repair conditions, the principal residual lesions of importance are misrepaired double-strand breaks. The micronucleus (MN)...
