Abstract excerpt
Micronuclei (MN) are extensively used as an indicator of chromosomal damage and early biomarker of cancer risk. The genetic host factors are known to influence the level of chromosomal alterations consequently affecting MN frequencies. Hence, in the present study, we investigated the extent of chromosomal damage by analyzing micronucleated cell (MNC) frequency in exfoliated buccal epithelial cells (BEC) and its...
