The exceptional case of a person who has survived twelve tumours opens up new avenues for early diagnosis and immunotherapy in cancer by Dra. Carolina Villarroya, postdoctoral researcher at Malumbres Lab.

Germline mutations leading to aneuploidy are rare, and their tumor-promoting properties are mostly unknown at the molecular level. We report here novel germline biallelic mutations in MAD1L1, encoding the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) protein MAD1, in a 36-year-old female with a dozen of neoplasias. Functional studies demon- strated lack of full-length protein and deficient SAC […]
