Purpose: to study the relationship between the dose of active ribosomal genes and the level of chromosomal aberrations in coal mine workers. Chromosomal aberrations were studied in 357 miners and 736 men who do not work at industry. The dose of active ribosomal assessed in 154 miners and 91 people from the comparison group. Identified increase in the frequency of occurrence of single fragments in workers with an average dose of active ribosomal genes.
