title: [Comparative analysis of cytogenetic instability in buccal epithelial cells in the urban and rural dwellers of the Republic of Bashkortostan].
abstract: The frequency of cytogenetic instability in buccal epithelial cells was studied in the urban and rural dwellers of the Republic of Bashkortostan. A total of 26256 cells from 24 students who had been born in Ufa and 26951 cells from 25 students who had lived in a rural area before entering the Institute were analyzed. The students' age was 17 to 19 years. The study has indicated that cytogenetic instability and other types of karyological anomalies in the buccal epithelial cells of rural and urban dwellers depend on gender and environmental factors.
