by aneuploidy as well.

Moreover, many human tumors have highly abnormal numbers of chromosomes (that is, they are aneuploid), with initial chromosomal loss participating in the early steps of the transformation cascade in inherited cancers caused
by heterozygous mutation in tumor suppressor genes and the more widespread
aneuploidy characteristic of advance tumors thought to drive acquisition of malignant growth properties.??
