Abstract
The consistent occurrence of nonrandom chromosome changes in human malignancies suggests that they are not trivial epiphonomena. Whereas we do not understand their significance at present, one possible role which they may fulfill is to provide the chromosomally aberrant cells with a proliferative advantage as the result of alteration in the number or location of genes related to nucleic acid biosynthesis. The proliferative advantage provided by various chromosome aberrations is likely to differ in patients with different genetic constitutions.Entities:
