Methods for measuring somatic mutation and chromosome aberration in humans are currently advancing and provide important new opportunities for biologic dosimetry of nuclear workers. Methods to test somatic mutation in four human genes (hprt, hla-a, glycophorin A, and beta globin) are reviewed bri...
