Intergenerational effects of ionizing radiation: review of recent studies from human data (2018-2021)

CONCLUSION: This review, covering the period 2018-2022, serves as an extension of the previous systematic review conducted by Stephens et al. (2024), which encompassed the years 1988-2018. Together, these two papers offer a comprehensive overview of the available evidence regarding the intergenerational effects of parental pre-conceptional exposure to ionizing radiation. Overall, the findings do not provide strong evidence supporting a significant association between adverse (or other) outcomes in unexposed children and parental preconception radiation exposure.PMID:38319708 | DOI:10.1080/09553002.2024.2309917
