Persons who work with petroleum and petroleum derivatives (PPD) are potentially at risk of developing cancer mostly due to the carcinogenity of benzene. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine in which degree occupational exposure of workers to PPD causes damage to DNA by analysis of micronuclei (MN), sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) and proliferation index (PI). 30 workers of refinery in Novi Sad, participated in the study as exposed and 30 volunteers as control group. Workers exposed to PPD had significantly higher values of MN and SCE in comparison to controls. Exposition time to PPD and type of working place have also significantly effects to DNA damage. The influence of confounding factor such as smoking and age were also evaluated.

Incomplete sister centromere decatenation results in centromeric ultrafine anaphase bridges (UFBs). PICH (PLK1-interacting checkpoint helicase), a DNA translocase, plays a crucial role in UFB resolution by recruiting UFB-binding proteins and stimulating topoisomerase IIα. However, the involvement of distinct PICH functions in UFB resolution remains ambiguous.

The hyper-unstable Chr9p21 locus, harbouring the interferon gene cluster, oncogenes and , is linked to multiple diseases. (GGGGCC)n expansions (Exp) are associated with incompletely penetrant amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia and autoimmune disorders. Exp patients display hyperactive cGAS-STING-linked interferon immune and DNA damage responses, but the source of immunostimulatory or damaged DNA is unknown.

Cancer cells often display errors in chromosome segregation, some of which result from improper chromosome alignment at the spindle midplane. Chromosome alignment is facilitated by different rates of microtubule poleward flux between sister kinetochore fibers. However, the role of the poleward flux in supporting mitotic fidelity remains unknown.

Completion of DNA replication before chromosome segregation is essential for the stable maintenance of the genome. Under replication stress, DNA synthesis may persist beyond S phase, especially in genomic regions that are difficult to proceed with the replication processes. Incomplete replication in mitosis emerges as non-disjoined segment in mitotic chromosomes leading to anaphase bridges.
