Abstract: Focuses on the discrimination between radiation-induced complete and incomplete chromosome exchanges using chromosome painting. Detection of centromeres and telomeres in fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay; Impact of the combined FISH Assay on lymphocytes; Observation of low fraction of true incomplete exchanges in lymphocytes.
