Studies from Bundeswehr Institute of Radiobiology Have Provided New Information about Department of Defense (Validating a Four-gene Set for H-ars Severity Prediction In Peripheral Blood Samples of Irradiated rhesus Macaques).

A recent study conducted by the Bundeswehr Institute of Radiobiology in Munich, Germany, has validated a set of four genes that can predict the severity of hematological acute radiation syndrome (H-ARS) in peripheral blood samples of irradiated rhesus macaques. The study involved 41 macaques, both male and female, and found that the genes FDXR, DDB2, and POU2AF1 were up-regulated after irradiation, while WNT3 showed inconsistent results. The research suggests that these genes could be used as diagnostic markers for H-ARS severity prediction. However, further research is needed to understand the diagnostic significance of WNT3.
