Chromosome Inequality: Causes and Consequences of Non-Random Segregation Errors in Mitosis and Meiosis
11 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
Aneuploidy is a hallmark of cancer and a major cause of miscarriages in humans. It is caused by chromosome segregation errors during cell divisions. Evidence is mounting that the probability of specific chromosomes undergoing a segregation error is non-random. In other words, some chromosomes have a higher chance of contributing to aneuploid karyotypes than others. This could have important implications for the...
