title: [Genetic load in a rural population in the Armenian SSR].
abstract: The reproductive function of women was analysed using interviews in zones with different levels of pesticides application. Increase in frequency of abnormal pregnancies in the zone of high level of pesticides application is shown. The main part of cases with hereditary pathology constituted the children with mental retardation. On the basis of surnames differentiation analysis, the relative homogeneity of structures of populations studied was demonstrated. The cytogenetic analysis only revealed small increase in SCE levels and no changes in the levels of aberrations of chromosomes in cultures of lymphocytes of rural workers contacting pesticides.
