Virtually all known aspects of genome instability following mutagenic insult resulting in transmitted germ line mutations in mammals are based upon specific locus mutation experiments.
Additionally, estrogen-induced tumor induction may involve receptor-mediated cell proliferation with tumor initiation by genotoxic and mutagenic events.
Several steps are potentially mutagenic, such as exposure to high cytosolic concentrations of ethylene glycol, and the extreme dehydration that is a requisite for vitrification.
This is the first quantitative estimate of the mutagenic effect of cryopreservation on the germ line of a metazoan.
Moreover, where hybrid dysgenesis and mutagenic agents result in similar yet quantitatively variable genetic aberrations, accurate correlations are difficult to determine.
Reports of hazardous chemical exposures to both male and female workers and related carcinogenic, mutagenic and now teratogenic effects are ever-increasing.
Such protection will necessarily have reduced the exposure of bacteria to the potentially mutagenic ultraviolet and other radiation.
This agent is a well-known carcinogen with conflicting indications of its mutagenic activity.
