Sister Chromatid Exchange Frequency and Chromosome Aberrations in Residents of Fluoride Endemic Regions of South Gujarat
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peripheral blood lymphocytes of residents of three villages and one nearby township in South Gujarat with fluoride concentrations in the drinking water of 1.56 3.46 and 0.6 0.8 ppm, respectively, were examined for their frequency of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) and chromosome aberrations. The rates of SCEs and chromosome aberrations in persons living in one of the endemic villages were significantly higher than in the others, and their lymphocytes were more susceptible to the clastogen Mitomycin-C.

Increased chromosome-type chromosome aberration frequencies as biomarkers of cancer risk in a blackfoot endemic area.
To examine whether biomarkers such as sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and chromosome aberrations (CAs) can predict cancer development, a nested case-control study was performed in a blackfoot endemic area with a known high cancer risk. A cohort of 686 residents was recruited from three villages in the blackfoot endemic area. Personal characteristics were collected, and venous blood was drawn ...
متن کاملSister Chromatid Exchanges: a Study in Fluorotic Individuals of North Gujarat
The purpose of this preliminary investigation was to compare the genotoxic effect of fluoride in human individuals directly exposed to high concentrations of drinking water fluoride (1.95 to 2.2 ppm) with those in individuals exposed to concentrations (0.6 to 1.0 ppm) within the WHO permissible limit. Sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) and cell cycle proliferative index were studied in whole-bloo...
متن کاملMicronucleus and Sister Chromatid Exchange Frequency in Endemic Fluorosis
Inhabitants of the Hohhot Region in Inner Mongolia who drink highfluoride (4-15 mg/L) water were compared for their micronucleus (MN) rate and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency in their peripheral blood lymphocytes. In persons with fluorosis as well as those considered "healthy", the MN rate and SCE frequency were significantly higher (t test) than in a neighbouring control group drinki...
متن کاملSodium fluoride-induced morphological and neoplastic transformation, chromosome aberrations, sister chromatid exchanges, and unscheduled DNA synthesis in cultured syrian hamster embryo cells.
The effects of exposure of early-passage Syrian hamster embryo cells in culture to sodium fluoride have been studied with respect to induction of morphological and neoplastic transformation, chromosome aberrations, sister chromatid exchanges, and unscheduled DNA synthesis. Exposure of Syrian hamster embryo cells to NaF concentrations between 75 and 125 micrograms/ml for 24 hr caused approximate...
متن کاملSister chromatid exchanges and chromosome aberrations in children after treatment for malignant lymphoma.
Sister chromatid exchanges and chromosomal aberrations were investigated in lymphocytes from 11 children with malignant lymphoma after cessation of treatment. Chemotherapy combined with radiation was administered, terminating between 4 months and 13 years before chromosome analyses were performed. The frequency of sister chromatid exchanges per chromosome was the same, 0.20, in the patients and...
