Abstract excerpt
Cytogenetic analyses have revealed that many aneuploid breast cancers have cell-to-cell variations of chromosome copy numbers, suggesting that these neoplasms have instability of chromosome numbers. To directly test for possible chromosomal instability in this disease, we used fluorescent in situ hybridization to monitor copy numbers of multiple chromosomes in cultures of replicating breast cancer-derived cell...
