  • Title: [The role of cytogenetic examination for prognosis of remote consequences of irradiation].
    Author: Snigireva GP, Novitskaia NN, Popova GM.
    Journal: Radiats Biol Radioecol; 2011; 51(1):162-7. PubMed ID: 21520626.
    Abstract:
    Correlation between the level of somatic pathology and cytogenetic characteristics of blood was analyzed in a group of liquidators of the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP). A statistically significant correlation was found between the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and the level of chromosome aberrations (total frequency of chromosome aberrations, frequency of dicentrics and centric rings, frequency of chromatid aberrations). The results obtained are of great importance for the substantiated prediction of the development of postradiation pathologies.
