The effects of occupational exposure to N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) on sister chromatid exchange (SCE) rates were studied in peripheral lymphocytes from 22 DMF-exposed women (aged 22-52 years) in comparison with 22 sex-, age-, and residence-matched controls. All subjects were nonsmokers and nondrinkers as confirmed by medical interview. The 22 pairs were divided by the intensity of exposure to DMF into 3 subgroups of high-exposed (8 pairs with mean DMF exposure at 5.8 ppm), middle-exposed (5 pairs with DMF at 0.7 ppm in combination with toluene at 0.9 ppm), and low-exposed (9 pairs with DMF at 0.3 ppm). The SCE rates were significantly higher in the high (P less than 0.005) and middle (P less than 0.01) exposed than in their matched pairs, and the increase was related to the intensity of DMF exposure.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D012854 Sister Chromatid Exchange An exchange of segments between the sister chromatids of a chromosome, either between the sister chromatids of a meiotic tetrad or between the sister chromatids of a duplicated somatic chromosome. Its frequency is increased by ultraviolet and ionizing radiation and other mutagenic agents and is particularly high in BLOOM SYNDROME.

D016022 Case-Control Studies Comparisons that start with the identification of persons with the disease or outcome of interest and a control (comparison, referent) group without the disease or outcome of interest. The relationship of an attribute is examined by comparing both groups with regard to the frequency or levels of outcome over time.
