Abstract excerpt
Aneuploidy occurs early during tumorigenesis and may contribute to tumor formation. Tumor cells become aneuploid as a result of aberrant mitotic divisions, suggesting a tumorigenic contribution of the mechanisms in maintaining chromosomal number stability. We therefore speculated that the genes TTK, MAD2L1, BUB1, BUB1B and PTTG1 (Securin), jointly implicated in the regulation of mitotic checkpoint, might be...
