Abstract:
Objective To study the impacts of variation of folate metabolic component including folic acid (FA), riboflavin (RF) and MTHFR C677T polymorphism on chromosome 8 and 17 segregation. Method RPMI1640 medium was modified with different combinations of low (LF) and high (HF) concentrations of folic acid (20, 200 nmol/L) and low (LR) and high (HR) concentrations of riboflavin (1 and 500 nmol/L). The lymphocytes with different MTFHR C677T genotype were cultured in the mentioned media for 9d. Cytokinesis was blocked by cytochalasin B and the slide was prepared as usual. The frequencies of aneuploidy of chromosomes 8 and 17 were determined by dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Results The frequencies of both chromosome aneuploidy were significantly higher in low FA (LFLR+LFHR) than that in higher FA (HFLR+HFHR) (P
