The effect of ethanol on the frequency of aphidicolin-induced common fragile sites was studied using lymphocyte cultures from two normal women. Aphidicolin was added to the cultures at a final concentration of 0.2 microM and ethanol at 0.02%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, and 1%, both during the last 26 h of cu
To enhance the cytogenetic expression of the fragile X chromosome, we studied the effects of hyperoxia and caffeine on the induction of fragile Xq27.3. A lymphoblastoid cell line (GM 06912) derived from a fragile X male proband was cultured in RPMI 1640 containing 16% dialyzed fetal calf serum. The
Chromosomal or allelic losses at 3p14 are common in a variety of human tumors, including those of the lung, breast, kidney, and head and neck. This suggests the existence of a tumor suppressor gene in this band. A promising candidate is the recently cloned FHIT gene, which spans the common fragile s
