Co-occurrence of acrocentric chromosome associations with dicentric chromosomes in irradiated human lymphocytes

ConclusionThe present analysis showed increasing ACA complexity with increasing radiation dose. Furthermore, a  higher frequency of ACA in cells with 1DC or ≥ 2DC compared to the ACA in cells without DC from the same sample of irradiated lymphocytes demonstrated the co-occurrence of ACA and DC in the same cells.
