Sister chromatid exchanges and structural chromosome aberrations in relation to age and sex. 1982

K Hedner, and B Högstedt, and A M Kolnig, and E Mark-Vendel, and B Strömbeck, and F Mitelman

Sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) and structural chromosome aberrations were analyzed in peripheral blood lymphocytes of 100 individuals, and correlated to age and sex. No correlation was found between the frequency of SCE and age, but older individuals had significantly more structural aberrations than younger. Females had significantly more SCE as well as structural chromosome aberrations than males. The positive correlations of SCE and structural aberrations to age and sex were also significant when these factors, as well as smoking habits, were taken into consideration in an analysis of covariance.

D003434 Crossing Over, Genetic The reciprocal exchange of segments at corresponding positions along pairs of homologous CHROMOSOMES by symmetrical breakage and crosswise rejoining forming cross-over sites (HOLLIDAY JUNCTIONS) that are resolved during CHROMOSOME SEGREGATION. Crossing-over typically occurs during MEIOSIS but it may also occur in the absence of meiosis, for example, with bacterial chromosomes, organelle chromosomes, or somatic cell nuclear chromosomes.
