  • Title: Frequency of sister chromatid exchanges in severe protein calorie malnutrition.
    Author: Mutchinick O, Lisker R, Ruz L, Salamanca F, Armendares S.
    Journal: Ann Genet; 1979; 22(3):129-32. PubMed ID: 118701.
    Abstract:
    Nine children with severe protein calorie malnutrition were studied regarding the frequency of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE's) in peripheral blood lymphocytes. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the number of SCE's in the malnourished children as compared to an adequate control group. An interesting finding was that the proportion of 3rd or subsequent division metaphases found in the malnourished children, was higher and significantly different from that seen in the control group.
