Chromosomal investigations were performed after peripheral lymphocytes taken from 25 healthy females and from 35 female patients suffering from various types of multiple sclerosis had been cultured for 48 hours. The incidence of cells with chromosomal breaks in multiple sclerosis patients (2.0%) was significantly higher than in controls (1.1%): Chi2 = 7.26; DF = 1; p less than 0.01. Furthermore, chromosomal rearrangements (dicentric chromosomes, translocation chromosomes, chromatid exchange figures) were observed more frequently in the MS patients than in the controls. Analysis of the interchromosomal distribution of breaks found in the patients revealed a relative surplus in chromosome A2 and D-group chromosomes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.
