genotoxicity
A specific adverse effect on the genome living cells. It can be expressed as a mutagenic or a carcinogenic event because of specific alteration of the molecular structure of the genome through translocation of proto-oncogenes. It results from a reaction with DNA that can be measured either biochemically or, in short-term tests, with endpoints that reflect on DNA damage.
