Abstract: Disclosed is a detection method for DNA repair-related genes which respond to low-level radiation, which includes the steps of (1) breeding AKR/J mice, as a thymus cancer model, and normal ICR mice in a low-dose radiation environment; (2) collecting thymuses from the AKR/J thymus cancer mouse model and the normal ICR mice which have been bred at the step (1); (3) analyzing genes in the thymuses collected at the step (2); (4) detecting, among the genes analyzed at the step (3), a DNA repair-associated gene expressed commonly or differentially in the AKR/J thymus cancer mouse model and the normal ICR mice; and (5) amplifying the gene detected at the step (4) and measuring the expression level thereof.
