| Opplysninger | Chromosome investigations were carried out on lymphocyte cultures of 21 patients with probable Alzheimer's disease in comparison to an age-matched control group of 11 healthy subjects. Different cytogenetic parameters were analyzed: sister chromatid exchanges, polyploid mitoses, mitotic activity and secondary chromosomal aberrations such as gaps, breaks and exchanges. Only the average rate of sister chromatic exchanges was slightly decreased in patients (8.4 +/- 1.7; control group: 10.4 +/- 2.1). There were interindividual differences of values for each of the cytogenetic parameters analyzed, but these were not related to the onset, duration or severity of dementia.
