Abstract excerpt

Aiming to assess the susceptibility of populations in the Brazilian Amazon region to ionizing radiation emitted from uranium, mutations frequencies in the DNA repair genes XRCC1 and XRCC3 and in the metabolic gene GSTM1 were evaluated. The XRCC1 allele frequencies for the 194Trp polymorphism in the municipalities of Monte Alegre, Prainha and Alenquer were, respectively, 0.12, 0.13 and 0.07, and for 399Gln...
