Medical Genetics When irradiation occurs during the Go/G1 phase of the cell cycle large-scale rearrangements appear as exchange-type chromosome a berrations at the next mitosis, such aberrations can alter cellular phenotypes, and are important in various areas of biology
Medical Genetics When irradiation occurs during the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle, large-scale rearrangements appear as exchange-type chromosome aberrations at the next mitosis. Such aberrations can alter cellular phenotypes, and are important in various areas of biology:
Medical Genetics Medical and public-health applications include perinatal diagnostics characterization of specific cancer types, carcinogenesis risk estimation, radiation biodosimetry and adiotherapeutic treatment planning

Medical Genetics Analyzing chromosome aberrations helps characterize repair/misrepair pathways involved in the processing of DNA damage. Ionizing radiation has some unique features as a probe of such pathways. Compared to other genotoxic agents, it produces copious quantities of DNA double strand breaks(DSBs),and its timing can be controlled more accurately

Medical Genetics Moreover initial radiation damage has a discrete, stochastic character that can be modulated by using different kinds of radiation(e. g a-particles versus x-rays) having different ionization densities
