title: [Current status of the problem of quantitative estimation of cytogenetic effects of low doses of radiation].
abstract: The results of the author's own experimental studies and the literature on the cytogenetic effects in human lymphocyte culture induced by low-level radiation are presented. The quantitative regularities of the occurrence of structural chromosome damages in the genome of human somatic cells under the effect of low doses differ from those induced by high doses of ionizing radiation. The adequacy of extrapolating the risk of harmful after-effects from high-to low-level radiation is discussed.
