Abstract excerpt

The age dynamics of haptoglobin (Hp) type and allele distribution was studied in 985 workers aged 35-79 years who worked in the atomic industry. These workers were exposed to chronic radiation in a wide range of doses 17-40 years ago. Along with the chi 2 test, the relative and attributive risks...
