The dose-effect relationship for dicentric chromosome aberrations and centric  rings was studied in a female patient exposed to whole-body gamma irradiation  for myeloid leukaemia. Samples were taken before and at different times during  the exposure. The dose-effect relationship is on the linear-quadratic type and  practically identical with those found earlier when the blood from adults and  children was irradiated in vitro and only slightly above that of children  irradiated in vivo.
