aneuploidy
(
J:218627
)
• average % of near-tetraploid aneuploidy in heterozygous mutant MEFs cells is 9.6% relative to 6.6% for wild-type MEFs
|
• under normal culture conditions, heterozygous mutant MEFs show mild-to-moderate defects in cell growth relative to wild-type MEFs
• upon treatment with camptothecin (CPT), the number of heterozygous mutant live cells is increased by only 1.7% per day, whereas the number of wild-type cells is increased by 10% per day
|
• heterozygous mutant MEFs exhibit significantly more spontaneous chromosome breaks (1.0%) than wild-type MEFs (0.6%)
