Mutations in mitotic checkpoint genes have been detected in several human cancers, and these cancers exhibit chromosomal instability. Aneuploid stem cells seem to result from chromosomal instability and have been reported in many lung cancers. To determine whether alteration of mitotic checkpoint re
## Abstract Aneuploidy and genetic instability are a hallmark of colorectal cancer and other solid tumors, and they are thought to enhance tumor progression. The gene __MAD2L____2__ (mitotic arrest deficient 2βlike 2) encodes the spindle checkpoint protein MAD2L2 (or MAD2B), a key component of a su
