This book enables the reader to gain an understanding of the genotoxic effects of diverse environmental factors and the molecular mechanisms (causes) underlying the formation of their biomarkers. It also describes the major groups of genotoxic factors, the problems and principles of their classification, and standardized testing methods.

The relationship between individual genetic characteristics and the biological response to environmental factors is presented in brief. On this basis, modern fields of personalized biomedicine are being formed and developed. The book also discusses the importance of integrating genetics and artificial intelligence methods in healthcare, including the identification of potentially carcinogenic compounds and the prediction of biological targets.

Thus, genetic toxicology is a continuously evolving field, the necessity of which arises from human lifestyle and from the critical need to understand the toxicological mechanisms underlying the complex interactions between humans and the environment. Therefore, for every country, especially for Armenia, it is of strategic importance to establish infrastructure for assessing the genotoxic effects of radiation, chemical, biological, and high-stress factors on humans.

Such a comprehensive approach will make it possible to identify groups of individuals who are more susceptible to the development of various pathological conditions, thereby helping to prevent or reduce adverse health effects and the overall burden on the healthcare system.
