Characterization of Anaphase Laggards and Micronuclei in Lymphocytes from a 62-Year-Old Woman
| Characterization | No. (%) of Anaphase Laggards (n=200) | No. (%) of Micronuclei(n=200)a |
| Fragment | 67 (33.5%) | 100 (50.0%) |
| Autosome | 98 (49.0%) | 38 (19.0%) |
| X chromosome | 35 (17.5%) | 62 (31.0%) |
| Active | 15 | |
| Inactive | 17 | |
| Activity status uncertain | 3b |
a
No. characterized per probe.
b
Since the cultures were not synchronized (to avoid chemical interference with normal chromosome segregation), the activity status of the X chromosome could not always be ascertained.
