Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
- EXPOSED VETERANS. Subjects for this investigation are required to have received, according to military records, whole-body radiation doses in excess of 0.25 Sv to ensure adequate detection of the radiation exposure by the FISH method. The recorded doses are crude dose estimates, often based on group radiation monitoring rather than on individual data, however, they are the only information available, upon which to select the study subjects that meet our criteria.
- To date, 16 exposed veterans that meet this requirement have been identified by the AVES through accessing databases of the NTPRP constructed by the Dept. of Defense.
