Abstract excerpt
To assess the potential effect of maternal environments on human embryonic/fetal somatic mutation, we measured the frequencies of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT, hprt gene), mutant T lymphocytes (Mf), and glycophorin A (GPA) variant erythrocytes (Vf) of both allele-loss (phi/N) and allele-loss-and-duplication (N/N) phenotypes in umbilical cord blood. The mean hprt Mf (1.40 +/- 1.11 x 10(-6),...
