As I did some research, I found something very interesting.
The Zika virus is said to cause Microcephaly aka birth defects/mutations.

Microcephaly is a malformation associated with in utero exposed atomic bomb survivors and can be induced in mice by fetal exposure to ionizing radiation (IR). The pathogenesis of IR-induced microcephaly, however, has not been fully understood.
