Pregnant females appear to have an increased chromosomal sensitivity to gamma-irradiation. This hypersensitivity was found to parallel the increase of gestation hormone amounts [M. Ricoul, L. Sabatier, B. Dutrillaux, Increased chromosome radiosensitivity during pregnancy, Mutat. Res. 374(1997) 73...
