Abstract excerpt
BUB1B and RASSF1A genes play specific roles in the mitotic checkpoint, and their defects may cause chromosome instability or aneuploidy in mouse fibroblasts and human cancer cell lines; however, few studies have reported a correlation between defects in these genes and chromosome changes in human tumor samples. We examined chromosome abnormalities in 25 Wilms tumors by metaphase comparative genomic hybridization,...
