Persistent Chromosome Aberrations in Irradiated Human Subjects: II. Three and One-Half Year Investigation
The frequencies of chromosomal abnormalities in the peripheral leukocytes of eight men exposed to mixed gamma and fission neutron irradiation in 1958 were reinvestigated. The samples were obtained for the present study approximateiy 42 months after the accident occurred, whereas the earlier study was made of material collected at approximately 29 months. The men continue to show chromosomal aberrations, both gross, such as dicentric chromosomes, and minor, such as are detected only by karyotype analysis. The frequency of abnormalities appears to have dropped somewhat in most of the cases, and markedly in one, during the intervening 13 months.
