Description

The clinical and experimental investigation evidence that instability of somatic cell genome plays the great role in forming the late consequences of exposure. There are comprehensive data about positive correlation and succession of damages induced in genome of somatic cells, and the consequent tumour development. It is emphasized the possibility to evaluate the genetic danger of exposure by level and character of chromosome changes into somatic cells. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the genome state in somatic cells of persons exposed to chronic radiation, and their offspring (generations I and II). (author)
