| Abstract |
Series of 7 articles on mutagenic factors encountered in workplaces. 1) Mutagenic effects on man: methods for detecting genetic effects (Susanne C.) (the best method for analysing mutagenic effects appears to be the study of human lymphocytes in vitro, or in vivo in exposed subjects). 2) Chromosome aberrations in the peripheric blood as a measurement of the mutation rate (Kirsch-Volders M.). 3) Genetic effects of lead, mercury and cadmium (Verschaeve L., Driesen M.). 4) Influence of medroxyprogesterone acetate on the karyotype (Kirsch-Volders M., Alexander A., Tiboldi T.). 5) Genetic effects of ionising radiations (Hens L.) (brief review of essential facts concerning chromosome and genome mutations in man and animmals). 6) Protection of the foetus: genetic risks involved in using ultrasound and X-rays during pregnancy (Kirsch-Volders M.) (comparative study of irradiated foetus in utero). 7) Conclusion (Susanne C.) (urgency of the problem on account of the high percentage (around 12% at birth) of congenital malformations of genetic origin). |
