title: [Incidence of the 9qh+ variant in subjects with occupational exposure to radiation and in cases of reproductive pathology].
abstract: The frequency of the 9qh+ variant was fond to be significantly increased (as compared to controls) in the following classes of subjects: R)professionally radioexposed individuals; P)patients with chromosomal aberrations; PP)parents of P; Cs)sterile or pluriabortive couples. While the increase of 9qh+ in P and PP individuals was already known, the findings in professionally radioexposed individuals and sterile or pluriabortive couples appear to be relatively new. Occurrence of 9qh+ might prove to be a useful indicator of chromosomal damage, while confirmation of these findings would entail stringent limitation of professional and diagnostic radioexposure.
