Efficiency of carcinogenesis with and without a mutator mutation.

Abstract excerpt

Carcinogenesis involves the acquisition of multiple genetic changes altering various cellular phenotypes. These changes occur within the fixed time period of a human lifespan, and mechanisms that accelerate this process are more likely to result in clinical cancers. Mutator mutations decrease genome stability and, hence, accelerate the accumulation of random mutations, including those in oncogenes and tumor...
