Abstract excerpt
Glioblastomas, the most malignant human brain tumors, are characterized by marked aneuploidy, suggesting chromosomal instability which may be caused by a defective mitotic spindle checkpoint. We screened 22 glioblastomas for mutations in the mitotic spindle check-point genes hBUB1, hBUBR1 and hBUB3. DNA sequencing revealed a silent mutation at codon 144 of hBUB1 (CAG-->CAA, Gln-->Gln) in one glioblastoma, a...
