  1. Frequency of Robertsonian fusion, end-to-end telomeric fusions and DNA-DSB/fragments were recorded from two independent experiments in the LY-R and LY-S cell lines. The inhibition was induced for 24 -hour period before metaphase preparation. DMSO was used as control treatment. In each experiment at least 100 metaphases were scored (except in LY-S untreated). S.D. was used as measure of dispersion from the mean.
  2. a The difference in mean event/cell between untreated and treated cell lines are significant (p < 0.05).
  3. b The difference in mean event/cell between untreated cell lines are significant (p < 0.0001).
