Associations of Acrocentric Chromosomes and Unstable Chromosome Aberrations in Newborns from Different Ecological Zones
نویسنده
چکیده
5220 metaphase plates of 187 infants from different ecological districts of Precarpathia have been analyzed with the aim to determine the frequency and spectrum of chromosomal aberrations, associations of acrocentric chromosomes in newborns. It was determined that the total number of chromosomal aberrations in newborns from districts of ecological comfort was 2, 0 and 2, 3 times lower as compared to newborns from zones with chemical and radiation contamination. The frequency of cells with associations of acrocentric chromosomes was 7,8 % higher in children from zones of chemical contamination and 9,9 % from zones of radiation pollution as compared to the children from districts of ecological comfort. The obtained results of the frequency of associations of acrocentric chromosomes correlated with the frequency indices of chromosomal aberrations (r correlated from 0,68 to 0,84), that proved the negative influence of ecological living conditions on immunogenetic status and adaptive human capabilities. Keyword: Chromosomal Aberrations, Associations Of Acrocentric Chromosomes, Newborns, Ecological Zones.

Nucleoplasmic bridges and acrocentric chromosome associations as early markers of exposure to low levels of ionising radiation in occupationally exposed hospital workers.
Ionising radiation, with the contribution of telomere shortening, induces DNA double-strand breaks that result in chromosome end fusion, nucleoplasmic bridges (NPBs) and chromosome aberrations (ChAbs) as well as dicentric chromosomes. In order to investigate the chromosomal damage induced by occupational ionising radiation at low exposure levels, and to find early markers of health hazard, peri...
متن کاملChromosome C-banding in Mus musculus L.1766 Strains Shows a Fixed Position for the Centromere and Variable Amounts in Different Populations
Three subspecies of Mus musculus have been recognized in Iran so far. The house mouse (genus0T 0T2TMus2T, species0T 0T2TMus musculus2T) are recognized for their highly conserved morphology and chromosomal structure, but some chromosomal characters offer accurate taxonomic markers in this species that has been shown any unambiguous diagnostic morphological traits. Among the chromosomal character...

Background and Objective: Hybrid cells are made from fusion of two or more somatic cells. After formation chromosomes are located in one membrane . . So nucleic condition of each fused cell has changes and two genomes and chromosomes interact with each other. Locating the genes in new nucleic and cytoplasmic condition and great chromosomal rearrangement in these new formed cells can affect th...
متن کاملAberrations in the Chromosomes of Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton) upon Exposure to Butachlor
Background: Cirrhinus mrigala, one of the important fish widely consumed in India, was used for karyological observations and to evaluate the toxic effect of butachlor, an extensively used herbicide in rice fields in terms of chromosomal aberration test. Methods: Fishes were collected from “National Fish Seed Farm” Jyotisar with mean body weight of 20-50g. The experimental fishes were kept i...
