Nuclear Weapons Tests and Human Germline Mutation Rate
Yuri E. Dubrova,Bersimbaev Ri,Leila B. Djansugurova,Maira K. Tankimanova,Zaure Zh. Mamyrbaeva,Mustonen R,Carita Lindholm,Maj Hultén,Sisko Salomaa +8 more
TL;DR: The population around the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site in Kazakhstan provides an unparalleled opportunity for the analysis of the genetic risk of ionizing radiation to humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the origin of trisomy 21 Down syndrome
Maj Hultén,Suketu D Patel,Maira K. Tankimanova,Maira K. Tankimanova,Magnus Westgren,Nikos Papadogiannakis,Anna Maria Jonsson,Erik Iwarsson +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that most normal female foetuses are trisomy 21 ovarian mosaics and the maternal age effect is caused by differential selection of these cells during foetal and postnatal development until ovulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stable Chromosome Aberrations in the Lymphocytes of a Population Living in the Vicinity of the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site
Sisko Salomaa,Carita Lindholm,Maira K. Tankimanova,Zaure Zh. Mamyrbaeva,Koivistoinen A,Maj Hultén,Mustonen R,Yuri E. Dubrova,Rakhmetkaji I. Bersimbaev +8 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that on average, the magnitude of exposure of this cohort of people living in the Semipalatinsk area has been considerably smaller than that reported in the literature.
Three-generation study of population living in the vicinity of the semipalatinsk nuclear test-site - biosample database and population characteristics
Anssi Auvinen,Bersimbaev Ri,Djansugarova Lb,Yuri E. Dubrova,Maj Hultén,Carita Lindholm,Zaure Zh. Mamyrbaeva,Mustonen R,Sisko Salomaa,Suomela M,Maira K. Tankimanova +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a cohort of people exposed to the nuclear test fallout was studied in order to gain information on the magnitude of radiation exposure and genetic risk caused by protracted exposure to ionising radiation.
Book ChapterDOI
Meiosis and meiotic errors
TL;DR: Cytogenetic aspects of the process of meiosis are described, with special reference to the situation in human males and females, and achievements in obtaining information on meiosis by microscopic analysis of human germ cells are summarized.
