    Cytogenetic analysis of mammalian germ cells has provided some very useful data for the evaluation of chemical mutagens. The use of these procedures, and the interpretation of the data generated by them, are not, however, as simple or as straight forward as some investigators have implied. It is urged that more carefully planned studies be carried out in the future with thought given to some of the parameters discussed in order that the data generated will provide clear, concise insight into the ultimate genetic risk involved with the compound under test
