Chromosomal instability (CIN) leads to an increase in aneuploidy and chromosomal aberrations in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Telomere shortening appears as one mechanism fostering the development of CIN. Whether telomere shortening correlates to specific genetic changes that characterize a
## Abstract While polyploidy, a state of having fully duplicated sets of chromosomes per cell, has been described in normally developing bone marrow megakaryocytes or as an adaptive response in other cell types, aneuploidy is never detected in normal cells. Tetraploidy or aneuploidy can be induced
To study mutagen-induced chromosome instability in cancer disposition, late S and G2 lymphocytes of 15 patients with common variable immunodeficiency and 14 healthy controls were exposed to bleomycin in vitro. The groups did not differ in the frequency of spontaneous chromosome aberrations. In bleom
