[Inhibition of repair activity induced by gamma-, UV-irradiation and radiomimetics in cultured cells from schizophrenia patients].

A study was made of the processes of repair, virus reactivation, and formation of sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in blood cells of patients with schizophrenia after the effect of gamma-radiation and 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide. These processes were estimated by 12 criteria. The mutagen-induced disturbances in the processes of repair and SCE formation were found in cells of patients with schizophrenia and were absent in the control cells of healthy donors.
