Does variability in normal tissue reactions after radiotherapy have a genetic basis--where and how to look for it?

Abstract excerpt

Cancer patients exhibit large patient-to-patient variability in normal tissue reactions after radiotherapy. Several observations support the hypothesis that clinical normal tissue radiosensitivity is influenced by genetic factors. However, very little is known about the genetic variation possibly underlying inter-individual differences in normal tissue reactions when unselected cancer patients undergo...
