The accurate segregation of chromosomes to daughter cells is essential for healthy development to occur. Imbalances in chromosome number have long been associated with cancers amongst other medical disorders. Little is known whether abnormal chromosome numbers are an early contributor to the cancer progression pathway. Centromere DNA and protein defects are known to impact on the fidelity of chromosome segregation in cell and model systems. In this chapter we discuss recent developments in understanding the contribution of centromere abnormalities at the protein and DNA level and their role in cancer in human and mouse systems.
期刊介绍:
Molecular biology has been providing an overwhelming amount of data on the structural components and molecular machineries of the cell and its organelles and the complexity of intra- and intercellular communication. The molecular basis of hereditary and acquired diseases is beginning to be unravelled, and profound new insights into development and evolutionary biology have been gained from molecular approaches. Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology summarises the most recent developments in this fascinating area of biology.
