“…Duplication of 1q11q32, whole or partial gain of chromosomes 12 and 17, duplication of the 20q11.21 region or aneuploidy of chromosome X have been reported by many independent laboratories ( table 1 ) [Brimble et al, 2004;Draper et al, 2004;Inzunza et al, 2004;Mitalipova et al, 2005;Imreh et al, 2006;Baker et al, 2007;Lefort et al, 2008Lefort et al, , 2009Spits et al, 2008;International Stem Cell Initiative, 2011]. The recurrence of these specific types of mutations, linked to the presence of additional copies of some specific genes, may confer carrier cells with a selective and/or proliferative advantage, higher culture adaptation and resistance to apoptosis [Clark et al, 2004;Rosler et al, 2004;Caldas and Brenton, 2005;Maitra et al, 2005;Baker et al, 2007;Lefort et al, 2008;Navarro et al, 2008;Spits et al, 2008;Blum and Benvenisty, 2009;Werbowetski-Ogilvie et al, 2009;International Stem Cell Initiative, 2011;Oliveira et al, 2014].…”
