Abstract excerpt
Genomic instability is observed in the majority of human tumors. Dysregulation of the mitotic spindle checkpoint is thought to be one of the mechanisms that facilitate aneuploidy in tumor cells. Mutations in the mitotic spindle checkpoint kinase BLUB1 cause a dominant negative disruption of the spindle, leading to chromosome instability in cancer cell lines. However, little is known about chromosome 2q14, the...
