Background. It has been studied the genome stability of male patients with paranoid schizophrenia at different stages of treatment by means of micronucleus test in buccal epithelium. Materials and methods. Buccal epithelium of the oral mucosa was collected from 20 male patients in age 20-40 years with paranoid schizophrenia at the beginning, middle and end of treatment; 10 healthy male volunteers aged 20-40 years were in the control group. Patients were treated with drugs: amitriptyline (Amitrip
