Impact of Emotional Stress on Childrens, Adults and Family in Context to Genomic Instability

The study highlights the data from literature and results of own research directed to the analyzing the
impact of the degree of emotional stress expression on the children’s and adults’ genomic instability.
Scientific data concerning the impact of emotional stress to human genomic instability very seldom
describes in literature. For many scientists this connection is not supposed to be obvious, although
oncologists and psychologists know that a prolonged state of heightened emotional tension is fraught
with serious problems for the nervous-immune-endocrine system of the organism. Moreover,
oncologists know that cancer is often the result of resentment and loneliness. At the same time, the
role of genome instability in processes of tumor induction and progression is proved very correctly. In
the report will be paying attention to 3 aspects of human life in context of emotional stress expression
and its connection with genomic instability: environmental pollution, genomic predisposes, ethic and
social-economic problems.
Methods: For evaluation of stress expression levels we used the complex of standard psychological
tests: questionnaires— for adults and 8-coloured M. Luscher’s test—for children. Estimation of
genomic instability was carried out in blood cultures by test on chromosome aberration and
micronuclei test with Cytochalasin B. Alteration of biochemical indices were detected by standard
methods.
