Abstract

The level of N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (NA-AAF)-induced unscheduled DNA synthesis and the level of covalent binding of NA-AAF to DNA were determined in the mononuclear leukocytes of monozygotic and diazygotic twin pairs (n = 16 for each type). A statistically significant high degree of heritability was calculated for both parameters which, in turn, indicate genetic control of individual levels of induced DNA damage by NA-AAF.
