Genetic and environmental modulations of chromosomal stability: their roles in aging and oncogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

The primary objective of this review is to suggest a major role of cytogenetic pathology in the genesis of both the neoplastic phenotype and the senescent phenotype of aging mammalian organisms. It is hypothesized that allelic variation at a number of genetic loci that have the potential to modulate various types of chromosomal mutation could account, in part, for species-specific variations in maximum life-span...
