During tumorigenesis, selective proliferative advantage in certain cell subsets is associated with accumulation of multiple genetic alterations. For instance, multiple myeloma is characterized by frequent karyotypic instability at the earliest stage, progressing to extreme genetic abnormalities as the disease progresses. These successive genetic alterations can be attributed, in part, to defects in DNA repair...
