A South Korean government study found chromosomal abnormalities in 26 of 59 North Korean defectors who previously lived near the Punggye ri nuclear test site.
Across five annual studies, abnormalities were identified in 64 of 214 participants. No radiation associated cancers were found, and researchers could not exclude smoking, medical imaging or other environmental causes.
The findings do not establish that leakage from nuclear testing caused the abnormalities.
