dc.description.abstractObjective: We aimed to prospectively evaluate the effects of pegylated interferon alpha-2a and alpha-2b therapy on chromosomal aberrations and mitotic index in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Material and Methods: Fifty patients with chronic hepatitis B who underwent pegylated interferon alpha-2a or 2b therapy were evaluated for chromosomal aberrations and mitotic index before the treatment and at the end of 6 months of therapy. Results: Cytogenetic examinations revealed out that there was no significant difference between pre- and post-treatment frequencies of mitotic index and chromosomal aberrations. Conclusion: Interferon alpha-2a and alpha-2b therapy which is associated with common hematologic adverse effects has no significant cytogenetic effect.en_US
