Role of micronucleus test in predicting breast cancer susceptibility: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

British journal of cancer - 14 Feb 2012

Cardinale F, Bruzzi P, Bolognesi C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The cytokinesis-block micronucleus test (MNT), as a marker of chromosomal mutagen sensitivity, was applied in a number of studies enrolling breast cancer (BC) patients and subjects with known or putative genetic predisposition to BC. The large majority of them involve the evaluation of induced micronuclei (MN) frequency in peripheral lymphocytes, after the in vitro challenge with ionising radiations....
