Chromosomal instability, a hallmark of most colorectal cancers, has been related to altered chromosome segregation and the consequent deficit in genetic integrity. A role for the tumor suppressor gene APC has been proposed in colorectal cancer that leads to compromised chromosome segregation even though the molecular mechanism is not yet understood. Here, we tackled the genetic basis for the contribution of APC to chromosomal instability in familial adenomatous polyposis and sporadic colorectal cancer.
