The preliminary results of a cytogenetic analysis of blast index, mitotic index and association index, as well as of morphological indices of chromosomes 1, 9 and 16, carried out on two subsamples of twin pairs of different age groups, seem to indicate that the genetic material may undergo some process of transformation with time.
