The Role of p53 Mutations in Early and Late Response to Mitotic Aberrations.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the TP53 gene and chromosomal instability (CIN) are two of the most common alterations in cancer. CIN, marked by changes in chromosome numbers and structure, drives tumor development, but is poorly tolerated in healthy cells, where developmental and tissue homeostasis mechanisms typically eliminate cells with chromosomal abnormalities. Mechanisms that allow cancer cells to acquire and adapt to CIN...
