Abstract:IntroductionDNA repair enzymes could modulate the individual susceptibility to the genotoxic effect of exposure to ionising radiation (IR).MethodsThe influence of polymorphisms of XRCC1, XRCC3 and XPD genes on the onset of chromosomal and DNA damage has been investigated in 43 workers exposed to low levels of IR, including 36 healthcare professionals and 7 industrial radiologists (exposed workers), and 43 subjects not occupationally exposed to IR (controls), matched for age. Chromosomal aberrations (CA) and mi… Show more
