Abstract excerpt

The glycophorin A (GPA) somatic mutation assay for N0 and NN mutant erythrocytes was performed on 245 current and 48 retired workers who had been occupationally exposed to radiation at the British Nuclear Fuels plc facility at Sellafield. A positive association with increasing age was found for current workers for both N0 and NN frequencies of 0.14 +/- 0.05 x 10(-6) (P = 0.012) and 0.25 +/- 0.07 x 10(-6) (P =...
