Radiation biodosimeter plays a vitally important role in estimating the absorbed doses of radiation victims and in the research on radiation biological effects. The "golden" biodosimeter, chromosome aberration analysis, is not suit for fast and high-throughout dose estimation. Developing a new fast and simple biodosimeter became the hotspot in radiation biodosimetry. Some studies showed that ionizing radiation could induce the gene expression changes (GEC) in the network of transcriptional regulation pathway, and GEC had the potential to be a biodosimeter. Many studies focused on p53 pathway-associated genes, including mdm2, Cyclin G, CDKN1A, GADD45, PIG3, Fhl2, ISG20L1, PCNA and GDF15.
