Abstract excerpt
Mutagen sensitivity, measuring the extent of chromosome damage induced by an in vitro treatment of peripheral lymphocytes with bleomycin, has been associated with an increased risk of various human cancers. Sensitivity to bleomycin appears to have high heritability and is usually considered to reflect individual capacity to repair DNA lesions. Another potential contributor to variation in bleomycin sensitivity...
