Abstract excerpt
We aimed to estimate the rate of germline mutations in the offspring of individuals accidentally exposed to Cesium-137 ionizing radiation. The study included two distinct groups: one of cases, consisting of males and females accidentally exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation of Cs137, and a control group of non-exposed participants. The cases included 37 people representing 11 families and 15 children...
