Abstract excerpt
Mutations in mitotic checkpoint genes have been detected in several human cancers, and these cancers exhibit chromosomal instability. Aneuploid stem cells seem to result from chromosomal instability and have been reported in many lung cancers. To determine whether alteration of mitotic checkpoint regulators is involved in carcinogenesis and tumor progression in primary lung cancer, we screened the genomic DNA...
