Abstract excerpt
Lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) with a heterozygous mutation in the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 have been repeatedly used to elucidate the biological consequences of such a mutation with respect to radiation sensitivity and DNA repair deficiency. Our previous results indicated that LCL with a BRCA1 mutation do not generally show the same chromosomal mutagen sensitivity in the micronucleus test as...
