… Analysis of germline mutation rate at human minisatellites among children born in areas
of the Mogilev district of Belarus heavily polluted after the Chernobyl accident has been
extended, both by recruiting more families from the affected region and by using five
additional minisatellite probes, including multi-locus probe 33.6 and four hypervariable
single-locus probes. These additional data confirmed a twofold higher mutation rate in
exposed families compared with non-irradiated families from the United Kingdom. An …
