[Radiation and mutation induction in the human germline].
This review describes the results of some publications on monitoring radiation-induced mutation in the human germline. Recent data have shown that minisatellite loci provide a useful and sensitive experimental approach for monitoring radiation-induced mutation in humans. The progress made in validating this approach and the results of recent publications on the analysis of minisatellite mutation rates in the irradiated families are presented.
