Abstract excerpt
A number of national guidelines and regulations on the mutagenicity of chemical substances mandate the assessment of inherited genetic effects. While inherited congenital malformations represent a major component of genetically-based adverse human health effects, tests for such effects are not used by regulatory agencies to evaluate inherited genetic effects. This paper is intended to highlight some of the...
