Genomic landscape of radiation-induced somatic mutations in a normal cell.

Abstract excerpt

Atomic bomb survivors have been found to have an excess risk of late adverse effects, including leukemia, various solid cancers, and non-cancer diseases, depending on the dose of radiation exposure. Radiation-induced DNA damage can lead to errors in DNA repair, resulting in the induction of somatic mutations in cells. Since these mutations are thought to contribute to an increased risk of radiation-induced...
