ABSTRACT
Lymphocyte cultures were set up from venous blood samples collected from 23 patients of submucous fibrosis (SMF) and 10 normal controls. Slides, thus prepared, were processed and screened for G-, C-banding and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency analysis. No gross chromosomal anomalies except that a few breaks and gaps were observed to be randomly distributed throughout the genome. However, a proportionate increase in SCE frequency in SMF patients as compared to the normal control individuals was observed. An attempt has been made to correlate the period of betel leaves, nuts, quid and tobacco chewing with the incidence of chromosomal anomalies and increase in SCE frequency and its sexwise distribution in these patients.
