Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Gulf War illness (GWI) is thought to be associated with exposures experienced by soldiers deployed in the 1991 Gulf War. A major question is how these exposures continue to influence the health of these individuals three decades later. One potentially permanent effect of such exposures is the induction of genetic mutations. We investigated whether veterans with GWI exhibited persistently elevated levels of...
