Research progress of chromosome translocation analysis in retrospective biological dose reconstruction / 中华放射医学与防护杂志

ABSTRACT

The application of chromosome translocation to retrospective biodosimetry for A-bomb survivors, the victims previously exposed to nuclear/ radiation accident has experienced nearly 40 years of development. Retrospective biodosimetry was internationally paid close attention to radiation workers, exposed atomic veterans and medical exposure subjects, respectively, along with the development of molecular cytogenetic technology such as mFISH and cGH. And the remarkable breakthrough and progress have been made in recent years. This paper reviews the progress of translocation indicator as retrospective biodosimetry for the subjects, in order to provide a reference for retrospective dose estimation based on translocation analysis.
