Abstract excerpt
Genomic instability characterizes the aneuploid cancer cell. Losses of genetic material are critical in cancer by exposing recessive mutations in tumor suppressor genes. Gains of genetic material also may lead to overexpression of genes contributing to tumor progression either in the presence or absence of mutation. However, the detection of moderate gains (such as tri-tetraploidy) has been a challenge in cancer...
