Mitomycin-C (MMC) induced Chromosomal aberration (CA) frequencies were studied in 48 h peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) cultures of untreated cancer patients of young age (maximum age 12 years, n=77). Control population (n=71) consisted of age-matched group (maximum age 12 years, n=21); elder controls (minimum age 60 years, n=19) and healthy first degree relatives, i.e., parents or siblings of the pediatric cancer patients (mean age 24.3 years, n=31) as they share their genome and environment. Induced CA levels were found to be significantly higher among pediatric cancer patients as compared to control groups. The age-matched and elder control groups showed comparable CA levels. The first degree relatives controls showed higher induced CA levels as compared to pediatric and elder control groups. The present results indicate that there are different degrees of mutagen sensitivity prevailing in normal population. This may be responsible for differential cancer proneness. High degree of mutagen sensitivity in cancer patients may also be playing a major role in cancer onset at an early age.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
