in the spring, while members now begin

and end their service in the fall. Terms

that begin May 1 and end April 30

would coincide more closely with the

Commission’s work schedule and thus

make Commission operations more

efficient and effective.

In order to achieve this, the terms of

all current members are hereby

extended for 7 months. The following

members’ terms will expire on April 30,

1999: P. William Curreri, Anne B.

Proposed Projects

1. An Epidemiologic Study of the

Relation Between Maternal and Paternal

Preconception Exposure to Ionizing

Radiation and Childhood Leukemia

(0920–0364), Revision.

The National Center for

Environmental Health proposes an

extension of a case-control study of the

relation between maternal and paternal

preconception exposure to ionizing

radiation and childhood leukemia. The

study is designed to determine whether

preconception gonadal doses from

ionizing radiation are higher in the

parents of children with leukemia than

in parents of healthy children. This

hypothesis is based on previous study

findings that, compared with control

groups, children with leukemia were

more likely to have fathers who worked

at the Sellafield nuclear facility in Great

Britain and to have received higher

doses of ionizing radiation prior to the

conception of the child. Funding for the

study is being provided to the

University of Colorado Health Sciences

Center by the National Center for

Environmental Health of the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention.

The study is designed as a multi

center case-control study. Cases will be

children with leukemia and controls

will be children without leukemia

selected at random from the same

population as the cases. In addition, the

next older sibling will be used in a

second control group. The main

exposure of interest, paternal and

maternal gonadal absorbed doses from

ionizing radiation during the six-month

time period before conception, will be

quantified by taking detailed histories

from the parents about medical,

occupational, and environmental

exposures that they had during the time

period of interest. Gonadal doses will be

estimated from the documentation of

each exposure. By calculating the doses

of ionizing radiation each parent

received, we can compute odds ratios

and confidence intervals for paternal

and maternal doses separately and

combined. These findings will clarify

whether the previously determined risks

can be detected in other populations

with similar exposures. Consistency in

the results of this study with those of a

similar study in Great Britain would

have a major impact on current medical

practice and occupational exposure

standards. If this study does not detect

an elevated risk for leukemia, it will be

unlikely that preconception gonadal

doses from ionizing radiation that are

received by the general public are

related to childhood leukemia. Total

annual burden hours are 1,125.
