Study of micronuclei frequency in human lymphocyte of local samples in Eshtar village and al-Tameem region surrounding at al-Tuwaitha site

Abstract EN

The présent study aimed to use the biological techniques in a genotoxicity assessment of DNA damage in pcriphcral lymphocytes duc to ionizing radiation which includc micronuclus assy in periphcral lymphocytes of local samplcs in Esther Village and Al-Tamccm région surrounding at Al-Tuwaitha site.

This technique of the most important cellular gcnctic indicators that dépend on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for radiation dose assessment.

This number includcd thirty samplcs from Eshtar village, aged (18 - 55 years), and thirty samplcs from Al-Tamccm région, aged (18 - 50 years), also the control group, which includcd twenty samplcs aged (16 - 58 years) from other régions of Baghdad was studied.

The results of the average of micronuclci showed no signifieant différences (p < 0.05) in pcriphcral blood lymphocytes of local samplcs in Eshtar Village and Al-Tameem région surrounding at Al-Tuwaitha site as compared with the control group.

In conclusion, the recordcd results revcaled no signifieant différences in the rate of MN for population living in the Eshtar village, Al-Tamccm région compared with the control groups.

Also, the level of micronuclci in binuclcatcd lymphocyte cells of the samplcs within was normal value according the tcchnical report séries No.405, IAEA in 2001.
