Comments II<br />

• The results <strong>of</strong> the rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g studies are controversial; none <strong>of</strong><br />

them fulfills the criteria for optimal <strong>in</strong>vestigations<br />

• Ladeira et al (2011) <strong>and</strong> also Viegas et al (2010) conducted<br />

relatively large studies; they evaluated 2000 <strong>cells</strong> <strong>and</strong> used<br />

Feulgen without counter sta<strong>in</strong>.<br />

• All other studies were smaller as suggested <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong> some <strong>of</strong><br />

them the number <strong>of</strong> evaluated <strong>cells</strong> was below 2000 (Holl<strong>and</strong><br />

et al, 1996, Zeller et al, 2011).<br />

• In none <strong>of</strong> the FA studies published so far nuclear anomalies<br />

other than MN were evaluated.<br />
