Is Radiosensitivity Associated to Different Types of Blood Groups? (A cytogenetic study)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many biological factors affect radiosensitivity. In this study, radiosensitivity among the different blood groups was investigated. Peripheral blood sample of 95 healthy people were divided into two parts. One part was irradiated with 2 Gy Co-60 gamma rays and the second one was considered as control. Then all the samples were studied by cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus assay (CBMN assay). Our study showed that the radiosensitivity index of A+ and O+ groups was significantly higher and lower than other blood groups, respectively. It seems that blood type can be used as a radiosensitivity index for determining the given dose to radiotherapy, although extensive studies are necessary.

متن کاملThe prognostic relevance of BCR-ABL1 transcript type, Sokal score and smoke as synergestic factor with complete cytogenetic response in CML patients treated with different TKI modalities
Background: In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), the influence of BCR-ABL1 transcript type, Sokal risk score and smoke on disease phynotype and cytogenetic response to treatment is still unknown and arguable. The objective of this study was to determine the prognostic significance of transcript types, risk score and smoking status among patients with CML treated with different tyrosine kinase inh...

Background and purpose: Cytogenetic tests are used to assess the individual’s radiosensitivity and the potential to develop cancerous diseases. Our aim was to assess the radiosensitivity of patients with prostate cancer and healthy individuals based on Premature Chromosome Condensation (PCC). Materials and methods: 3.5 ml blood was collected from peripheral veins of 10 healthy indi...
متن کاملAssessment of individual radiosensitivity in human lymphocytes using micronucleus and microgel electrophoresis “Comet” assays
Background and purpose: Individual radiosensitivity is an inherent characteristic, associated with an increased reaction to ionizing radiation on the human body. Individuals show marked differences in radiation sensitivity, which has consequences in the fields of both radiation protection and radiation therapy. It is suggested that DNA repair mechanisms are involved. Consequently, the character...
