Chromosomal aberrations are disruptions in the normal chromosomal content of a cell and are a major cause of genetic conditions in humans, such as Down syndrome, although most aberrations have little to no effect.

Genetic Toxicologists at IITRI routinely perform bacterial mutagenesis assays ( Ames Tests ), mammalian mutagenesis assays ( mouse lymphoma and other tests ), DNA damage assays ( micronucleus and chromosomal aberration assays ), and cytotoxicity assays.

Irradiation of male mice during late spermatogenesis can induce damage that persists for at least 7 days in the fertilizing sperm cells, and disruption of maternal DNA double-strand break repair pathways increases sperm cell-derived chromosomal aberrations.
34.
"He asked, ` Could viruses have something to do with these chromosomal aberrations ? "'said Dr . Eugene O . Major of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, who collaborated with Neel on the work.
35.
MMA ( III ) and DMA ( III ) were also shown to be directly genotoxic by effectuating scissions in supercoiled ?X174 DNA . Increased arsenic exposure is associated with an increased frequency of chromosomal aberrations, micronuclei and sister-chromatid exchanges.
36.
Upon examination, MDS-afflicted FA patients will show many clonal variations, appearing either prior or subsequent to the MDS . Furthermore, cells will show chromosomal aberrations, the most frequent being monosomy 7 and partial hematopoietic progenitor cell transplant is an option ).
37.
A literature review of " in vivo " studies of BPF found that four out of five studies yielded results that BPF is estrogenic, androgenic and thyroidogenic . " In vitro " studies of BPF showed effects of cytotoxicity, cellular dysfunction, DNA damage and chromosomal aberrations.
38.
The researchers concluded from testing that when metabolically activated, " PAs produce DNA adducts, DNA cross-linking, DNA breaks, sister chromatid exchange, micronuclei, chromosomal aberrations, gene mutations, and chromosome mutations " in vivo " and " in vitro " . " The most common mutation within the genes ares G : C-- > T : A tranversions and tandem base substitution.
