Examining gene expression changes for biodosimetry purposes in peripheral blood in different laboratories after protracted radiation exposure. Third RENEB and EURADOS WG 10 gene expression study
Six teams using either qRT-PCR or microarrays for gene expression analysis provided dose estimates of four blinded blood samples exposed during the RENEB 2019 exercise. All teams generated similar results and estimated exposures around 0 Gy which contrasted to the true dose estimates (0.18, 0.25, 1.6 and 2.4 Gy). Reasons explaining that difference will be presented and will help to frame the next exercises.
