Babies born to exposed mothers show higher rates of genetic mutation: Study
September 30: A study found that babies born to exposed mothers showed higher rates of a kind of genetic mutation in blood cells. This kind of mutation is caused by a particular enzyme, and it is often found in childhood leukemia and lymphoma.Experts said it is the first time scientists have linked secondhand smoke to genetic mutations in a foetus. Prior research found elevated mutation rates in foetuses from women who themselves smoked during pregnancy. Copyright © 1998 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
