Chromosome instability syndromes
The chromosome instability syndromes, ataxia telangiectasia (A-T), Fanconi anaemia (FA) and Bloom syndrome (BS) have been known for many years. More recently Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) and ataxia telangiectasia-like disorder (ATLD) have been identified.

Short-term molecular consequences of chromosome mis-segregation for genome stability
Chromosomal instability leads to aneuploidy, a state of karyotype imbalance. By inducing controlled chromosome mis-segregation, Santaguida and colleagues show that aneuploidy can also instigate chromosomal instability.

Chromosomal Instability in Meningiomas [PDF]
Approximately 60% of sporadic meningiomas are caused by inactivation of the NF2 tumor suppressor gene on chromosome 22. No causative gene is known for the remaining 40%. Cytogenetic analysis shows that meningiomas caused by inactivation of the NF2 gene can be divided into tumors that show monosomy 22 as the sole abnormality and tumors with a more ...

Background Cancer is a complex disease that is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Despite research efforts, the ability to manage cancer and select optimal therapeutic responses for each patient remains elusive.

Characterization of Chromosomal Instability in Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a malignant tumor of the central nervous system (CNS). The poor prognosis of GBM due to resistance to therapy has been associated with high chromosomal instability (CIN).

Background: Genome-wide chromosomal instability, instead of specific somatic mutations or copy-number alterations in selected genes, is a significant property of cancer and may suggest a new strategy for treatment.

Kinase-independent role of cyclin D1 in chromosomal instability and mammary tumorigenesis [PDF]
Cyclin D1 is an important molecular driver of human breast cancer but better understanding of its oncogenic mechanisms is needed, especially to enhance efforts in targeted therapeutics.

Chromosomal instability in adult-type diffuse gliomas
Chromosomal instability (CIN) is a fundamental property of cancer and a key underlying mechanism of tumorigenesis and malignant progression, and has been documented in a wide variety of cancers, including colorectal carcinoma with mutations in genes such

The Swr1 chromatin-remodeling complex prevents genome instability induced by replication fork progression defects. [PDF]
Genome instability is associated with tumorigenesis. Here, we identify a role for the histone Htz1, which is deposited by the Swr1 chromatin-remodeling complex (SWR-C), in preventing genome instability in the absence of the replication fork/replication ...

Stem-Like Adaptive Aneuploidy and Cancer Quasispecies [PDF]
We analyze and reinterpret experimental evidence from the literature to argue for an ability of tumor cells to self-regulate their aneuploidy rate. We conjecture that this ability is mediated by a diversification factor that exploits molecular mechanisms
