The spindle checkpoint and chromosomal stability.

Genome dynamics - 1 Jan 2006

Qi W, Yu H

Abstract excerpt

Normal human somatic cells contain 46 chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomes and two sex chromosomes). Chromosome missegregation leads to abnormal numbers of chromosomes or aneuploidy. This form of genetic instability alters the dosages of large subsets of genes, which can result in severe disease phenotypes. Most human cancer cells are aneuploid. It is generally believed that aneuploidy contributes to cancer...
