Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Delayed expression of lethal mutations in the progeny of cells which survived a toxic insult was first shown for ionizing radiation and is one of the signs of induced genomic instability. The effect appears to be related to DNA strand breakage or repair but not to the physical break itself. To investigate this and the relationship of lethal mutations or delayed death to other instability endpoints,...
