Us earn Montreal a cigarette smoke May cause a catastrophic disruption of the chromosomes in human eggs that can Lead to miscarriage researchers say. The researchers found nicotine and cadmium another component of cigarette smoke in the fluid that sur rounds maturing eggs just before they Are fertilized. Women who smoke produce immature eggs said Maria Teresa Zenzes a geneticist at Toronto general Hospital. Those eggs have twice the appropriate num Ber of chromosomes and they produce highly abnormal fetuses that nearly always result in miscarriages she said. The study offers a possible explanation for Why women who smoke Are More Likely to have miscarriages Zenzes reported at the annual meeting last week of the american society of human genetics. In a separate study researchers said Friday that a chromosome abnormality associated with Lymphoma is3.6 times As common in heavy smokers As it is in non smokers possibly explaining Why that form of cancer is roughly three times As common in heavy smokers As in nonsmokers. When any tissue comes in Contact with cigarette smoke you get a myriad of changes said one of the authors of the Lymphoma study Douglas Bell a Molec ular biologist at the National Institute of environment May Tal health sciences in research Triangle Park no. The study is part of a new Field of research attempt ing to find genetic changes associated with smoking. These changes could explain Why smoking causes so Many kinds of cancer Bell said. Mary Claire King an epidemiologist and geneticist at the University of California at Berkeley said the studies were important because they showed new ways that smoking could cause genetic aberrations even be fore Conception. Both studies found that the effects were More pronounced with increasing exposure to cigarette smoke. In the Lymphoma study for example researchers found that those who had smoked the longest had the largest number of chromosome abnormalities and those with moderate exposure to smoke had a moderately increased number of  abnormalities occurred at a Gene called Bcl-2, which is known to be associated with Lymphoma Bel said.
