Frequency of chromosomal aberrations in lymphocytes of peripheral blood in patients with solid tumors
Abstract:
There was carried out a study to compare the frequency of spontaneous chromosomal aberrations (CA) in lymphocytes of peripheral blood between the group of cancer patients with different types of solid tumors and the group of healthy people of the same age. There was established a significant increase in the average frequency of CA in cancer patients. Analysis of the group of patients has revealed its heterogeneity: in the majority of patients the individual frequency of CA significantly exceeded the average frequency of CA in the control group, in some - did not differ from that. The first patients were described as the group with "generalized" genomic instability. Also this group differed by increased radiosensitivity of lymphocyte chromosomes during their irradiation in vivo.

Chromosome Structure
The centromere is a DNA sequence that links sister chromatids. This is also where kinetochores, protein complexes to which spindle microtubules attach, are constructed after the chromosome is replicated. The kinetochores allow the spindle microtubules to move the chromosomes within the cell during cell division.

Lampbrush Chromosomes
LBCs are made up of two pairs of conjugating homologous chromatids. Each chromatid consists of alternatively positioned regions of condensed-inactive chromatin and loosely placed-active side loops, which can be contracted and extended. The loops...
