Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations in the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) gene are rare occurrences in T-lymphocytes of normal individuals. Lacking pathogenic significance, these events can serve as reporters for assessing environmental genotoxicity. The present molecular analyses of hprt mu...
