Abstract excerpt
A method to measure the germline mutations induced by cancer treatment in humans is needed. To establish such a method we used a transgenic mouse model consisting of a human DNA repeat locus that has a high spontaneous mutation frequency as a biomarker. Alterations in repeat number were measured in individual sperm from mice hemizygous for an expanded (CTG)(162) human myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1)...
