Sensitivity to cisplatin-induced mutations and elevated chromosomal aberrations in lymphocytes from sickle cell disease patients.

Abstract excerpt

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder caused by a single nucleotide substitution in the beta-globin gene. The clinical heterogeneity observed in SCD patients has been attributed to environmental and genetic factors. The patients are subjected to increased oxidative stress, particularly during vaso-occlusive crises and acute chest pain. Another possible cause of oxidative stress in SCD is the high...
