[Stable chromosome aberrations in the lymphocytes of the peripheral blood in persons who suffered as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station].

The people suffered from Chernobyl accident exhibited the increased frequency of stable chromosome aberrations in peripheral lymphocytes as it was estimated by two-colour fluorescence in situ hybridisation with whole chromosome specific DNA probes for chromosomes 1, 4 and 12. However, the age dependence of this parameter in control group has to be estimated before the connection of this effect with radiation factor will be possible.
