The paper deals with a comparative study of two regimens of Macaca mulatta continuous 2-week gamma- and double fractionated acute irradiation by the total absorbed doses of 250 and 132 cGy, respectively; data about chromosomal aberration rates in peripheral lymphocytes were correlated. Based on calculations it was hypothesized that, regardless of regimen, by day-12 of irradiation the effective residual dose would be same, i.e. approximately 100 cGy. Analysis of instable aberration chromosomes showed similarity of the effect of gamma-irradiation by 137Cs at earlier time points (on days 2-21). In primates with the gamma-irradiation profile close to chronic (Gamma 25) the total rate of chromosomal aberrations and rate of radiation markers remain high, whereas animals exposed to fractionated radiation (Gamma 66) displayed a statistically significant (p < 0.05) reduction in cytogenetic parameters on days 36, 50 and 85. Cytogenetic analysis of peripheral lymphocytes permits the conclusion that though markedly different in dose values and rates, both regimens produce an essentially equal early damaging effect.

Titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles are being extensively used in a wide range of industrial applications for producing a variety of different consumer products, including medicines and even food items. The consumption of these products is increasing at an alarming rate, and this results in the release of these nanoparticles in the environment, causing a threat to organisms thriving in aquatic as well as terrestrial ecosystems. That is why screening such materials for their genotoxic effects, if any, becomes essential.

Cancer is among the leading causes of mortality in developed countries due to limited available therapeutic modalities and high rate of morbidity. Although malignancies might show individual genetic landscapes, recurring aberrations in the neoplastic genome have been identified in the wide range of transformed cells. These include translocations of frequently affected loci of the human genetic material like the Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 () of chromosome 22 that results in malignancies with mesodermal origin.

The most frequent type of leukemia in Africa is chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The genetic background of the rarer Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) Ph-ve (BCR-ABL-ve) subform of CML is largely unknown in African patients. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the role of CYP1A1 and 2D6 SNPs in the pathogenesis of Ph-ve CML in the Sudanese population.

Chromosomal abnormalities (CAs) are changes in the number or structure of chromosomes, manifested as alterations in the total number of chromosomes or as structural abnormalities involving the loss, duplication, or rearrangement of chromosomal segments. CAs can be inherited or can occur spontaneously, leading to congenital malformations and genetic diseases. CAs associated with cardiovascular diseases cause structural or functional alterations of the heart, affecting the cardiac chambers, valves, coronary arteries, aorta, and cardiac conduction, thus increasing the likelihood of arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, and sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Myeloid chimerism better reflects donor stem cell engraftment than whole-blood chimerism in assessing graft function following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT). We describe our experience with 130 patients aged younger than 18 years, treated with allogeneic HCT using bone marrow or PBSC from HLA-matched donors for non-malignant diseases, whose pre-transplant conditioning therapy included alemtuzumab and who were monitored with lineage-specific chimerism after transplant. At 6 years post-transplant, overall survival (OS) was 91.
