Sister chromatid exchanges in protein-energy malnutrition

P B Murthy et al. Hum Genet. 1980.

Abstract

The frequency of sister chromatid exchanges in children suffering from severe protein-energy malnutrition was investigated by the fluorescent-plus-Giemsa method. Children suffering from kwashiorkor had significantly higher mean SCEs per circulating lymphocyte than did normal children. A small but statistically significant decrease in these levels was observed following nutritional rehabilitation.
