Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Aneuploidy causes birth defects and miscarriages, occurs in nearly all cancers, and is a hallmark of aging. Individual aneuploid cells can be eliminated from developing tissues by unknown mechanisms. Cells with ribosomal protein ( Rp ) gene mutations are also eliminated, by cell competition with normal cells. Because Rp genes are spread across the genome, their copy number is a marker for chro...
