PURPOSE: To estimate the translocation-induction rate under chronic exposure conditions by measuring chromosome aberration frequencies in lymphocytes from Mayak nuclear workers using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Lymphocytes were examined from 27 nuclear workers at the Mayak Production Association and two control individuals using FISH with probes for chromosomes 1, 2 and 4. Official doses derived from worker film-badge records varied from 0 to 8.50 Gy. RESULTS: The mean (+/-SD) genome-equivalent translocation frequency (F(G)) was 2.30 (+/-0.75)% in the zero-dose group (n = 7), and Poisson regression analysis provided the best-fit equation of F(G)(%) = 2.96(+/-0.39) + 0.69(+/-0.14)D + 0.12(+/-0.05)A, where D is the film-badge-derived dose (Gy), and A is age centred at 67 years. The induction rate would increase to nearly 1% Gy(-1) if the radiation dose to bone marrow, one of the major organs for lymphocytes and where their precursor cells reside, is considered. CONCLUSION: The estimated induction rate in vivo appeared substantially smaller than linear coefficients estimated from various in vitro studies.
