  • Title: [The results of cytogenetic survey in liquidators of the Chernobyl nuclear accident].
    Author: Novitskaia NN, Snigireva GP, Khazins ED, Shevchenko VA.
    Journal: Med Tr Prom Ekol; 2000; (8):16-20. PubMed ID: 11019542.
    Abstract:
    The article represents results of long cytogenetic survey among liquidators of Chernobyl accident. The parameters studied are frequency of unstable chromosomal aberrations and frequency of symmetrical translocations. The authors show that, in spite of long term after irradiation, average frequency of cells with dicentrics and centric fusions (unstable chromosomal aberrations) remains relatively high. Discussion includes possible use of cytogenetic methods in reconstruction of absorbed radiation doses in many years after exposure.
