Popis: In order to judge whether or not clodronate used for treatment of patients with Paget's disease of bone had an effect on the haematopoetic tissue, the frequency of chromosome/chromatid breaks in bone marrows and blood cells was evaluated. Seven patients were studied before treatment, after a few days of treatment and after greater than or equal to 2 months of treatment. Three additional patients were studied after exposure to clodronate for greater than or equal to 6 months. There was no significant increase in the occurrence of chromosomal aberrations induced by treatment. Thus no negative effect of clodronate on the haematopoetic tissue could be noted.
