Abstract

In order to investigate whether the induction of micronucleus and aneuploidy in human lymphocytes by Hydroquinone (HQ) is associated with genetic polymorphisms of CYP1A1, GSTM1, GSTT1, NQO1 gene, the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay in combination with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique using specific centromeric probes for chromosome 7 and 8 and PCR-RFLP based genotyping for 30 healthy people were performed.(omitted)
