Radiation-Induced Mutation at Tandem Repeat DNA Loci in the Mouse Germline: Spectra and Doubling Doses
1 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
The spectra and dose response for mutations at expanded simple tandem repeat (ESTR) loci in the germline of male mice acutely exposed to low-LET X or gamma rays at pre-meiotic stages of spermatogenesis were compared in five strains of laboratory mice. Most mutation events involved the gain or loss of a relatively small number of repeat units, and the distributions of length changes were indistinguishable between...
