Micronucleus in oral exfoliated cells and associated factors among young adults in the far south of Brazil
There is an increasing interest in the application of micronucleus (MN) assays in the clinical setting to investing the impact of environmental, genetic, life style and socioeconomic conditions on DNA. However, the evaluation of mutagenic damage among young population had not been studied and early...
