Table 4. Mutations at minisatellite loci in relation to parental exposure.

Controls (<0.01 Gy) Exposeda (≥0.01 Gy)
Number of children examined 58 61
Minisatellite loci tested 1403 496
Mutations detected 39 13
Mutation rate/loci/generation 2.8% 2.6%

Data are from Kodaira et al. (2010). Note that the irradiation level for the exposed parents is quite high.
