Participants, all conceived after the disaster and born between 1987 and 2002, had their whole genomes screened. The study found no mutations that were associated with a parent's exposure. Prof Gerry Thomas, from Imperial College London, has spent decades studying the biology of cancer, particularly tumours that are linked to damage from radiation. She explained that this new study was the first to demonstrate that "even when people were exposed to relatively high doses of radiation - when compared to background radiation - it had no effect on their future children". en-us 2021-04-24 21:59:27 UTC 2021-04-24 22:04:13 UTC hello@padlet.com egeotgen https://padlet.com/egeotgen/hmd12cdiqwqff7y3/wish/1455253027 https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-56846728]]> 2021-04-24 22:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/egeotgen/hmd12cdiqwqff7y3/wish/1455253027
