Abstract excerpt
The majority of human tumour cells are aneuploid owing to an underlying chromosome instability phenotype. While the genetic lesions that cause chromosome instability remain undefined, mouse ES cells harbouring homozygous adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) mutations are frequently tetraploid. In addition, colon cancer cells with APC mutations have weakened kinetochore-microtubule interactions. Furthermore, mitotic...
