The incidence of micronuclei in bone marrow erythroblasts of patients with pernicious anemia ranged between 0.5-5.6% as compared with the value of 0-0.5% noted in hematologically healthy patients. The mechanism of formation and the possible significance of micronuclei in megaloblastic anemia are briefly discussed.
