dc.description.abstractThe Genetic and Cytogenetic Family Trio (GCFT) Study represents the first research initiative to collect and analyse blood samples from British nuclear test veterans and their families. Its aim was to investigate whether any genetic or chromosomal changes in their children were associated with the fathers’ historical exposure to ionising radiation. Overall, despite ongoing concerns raised by nuclear test families regarding adverse health outcomes, our study found no statistically significant relationship between paternal chromosomal aberration burden, germline mutation frequency, genomic instability, and self-reported family health issues.en_US
