INTRODUCTION: In recent years a new phenomenon has manifested itself: delayed, persistent genomic instability. When cells are treated with carcinogens not only direct induction of chromosome aberrations and mutations takes place, but there is also an indirect induction: in the distant progeny of treated cells persistently enhanced levels of new chromosome aberrations and enhanced mutation rates are found.
