Abstract excerpt
The frequency of chromosomal aberrations (CAs) was evaluated in blood lymphocytes from 18 healthy subjects. Basal CA frequencies were not significantly different in GSTM1 positive and GSTM1 null subjects (P>0.05), whereas they were considerably higher in smokers than in non-smokers. After 1 Gy dose of X-ray challenge of blood samples, CA frequencies were significantly higher in GSTM1 null subjects, compared to...
