Abstract:Aneuploidy, a deviation in chromosome numbers from the normal diploid set, is now recognized as a fundamental characteristic of all cancer types and is found in 70–90% of all solid tumors. The majority of aneuploidies are generated by chromosomal instability (CIN). CIN/aneuploidy is an independent prognostic marker of cancer survival and is a cause of drug resistance. Hence, ongoing research has been directed towards the development of therapeutics aimed at targeting CIN/aneuploidy. However, there are relative… Show more
