Abstract excerpt
Fragile sites are non-staining gaps and breaks on mammalian chromosomes. Several investigators have pointed out that these sites may act as factors that predispose to specific chromosomal rearrangements that are present in some cancer cases. The expression of common fragile sites induced by aphidicolin (Apc) was evaluated on prometaphase chromosomes obtained from the peripheral blood lymphocytes of 15 patients...
