Chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes apparently induced by Chernobyl fallout.

W Scheid1, J Weber, S Petrenko, H Traut.   

Abstract

Sixteen people (15 from Byelorussia, one from Kiev) possibly exposed to radioactivity released by the Chernobyl accident were investigated for chromosome aberrations induced in lymphocytes. Statistically significant increases of the yield of dicentric chromosomes were observed in five people.
