Cytogenetic analyses of 11,950 lymphocyte metaphases from 122 cultures from 10 control men and 17,759 lymphocyte metaphases from 183 cultures from 21 control women have shown: (1) variations in breakage frequencies in consecutive cultures from the same person, (2) variations in average breakages among cultures from different people, (3) greater variability in breakages in cultures from women than in cultures from men, and (4) differences in average breakage frequencies in cultures obtained at different times of the year.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
