Article Title: Very CIN-ful: Whole Chromosome Instability Promotes Tumor Suppressor Loss of Heterozygosity
Abstract: Mechanisms by which whole chromosome instability lead to tumorigenesis have eluded the cancer research field. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Baker et al. show that CIN induced by a defective mitotic checkpoint, under certain genetic and tissue contexts, leads to accelerated loss of heterozygosity of a tumor suppressor gene. © 2009 Elsevier Inc.
