Complex chromosome aberrations persist in individuals many years after occupational exposure to densely ionizing radiation: An mFISH study
23 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
Long-lived, sensitive, and specific biomarkers of particular mutagenic agents are much sought after and potentially have broad applications in the fields of cancer biology, epidemiology, and prevention. Many clastogens induce a spectrum of chromosome aberrations, and some of them can be exploited as biomarkers of exposure. Densely ionizing radiation, for example, alpha particle radiation (from radon or plutonium)...
