127: Gene expression signatures that predict human radiation exposure

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: The capacity to assess environmental inputs to biological phenotypes is limited by methods that can accurately and quantitatively measure these contributions. One such example can be seen in the context of exposure to ionizing radiation. The purposeful detonation of radiological or nuclear materials by terrorists has been recognized as a major threat to U.S. national security. Unfortunately, no rapid or practical assays are available to measure internal biodosimetry in a large population of affected individuals.
