Abstract excerpt
Mitotic checkpoint defects of the cell cycle have been implicated in the development of human cancers. Since hBUB1 and hBUBR1, whose products function in the spindle checkpoint pathway, have been shown to be mutated in a subset of colon cancers with chromosomal instability, we investigated the contribution of these genes to lung cancer development. One hundred and two lung cancer (50 small cell lung cancers and...
