Structural and numerical chromosome aberrations are commonly and concomitantly detected in cancer and in age-related syndrome cells suggesting a functional relationship between structural and whole chromosome instability (S-CIN and W-CIN, respectively). Recent evidence suggests that replication stress can not only drive S-CIN and the generation of structural chromosome aberrations, but might also be involved in W-CIN leading to whole chromosome missegregation during mitosis resulting in aneuploidy. ...
