6 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Studies have shown a significant increase in chromosome aneuploidy with age. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether the age-related changes in the level of hypoploidy correlate with the occurrence of micronuclei (MN) and chromosome nondisjunction (ND) in men and women. We analyzed cytokinesis-blocked (binucleated) lymphocytes treated with cytochalasin B, from 127 donors varying in gender and age including...
