名词 n.
-
A multiple of chromosomal rearrangements that is associated with some cancers.
— But for 2—3% of cancers, particularly bone cancer (up to 25%), recent evidence suggests that a single event of chromothripsis involving one or a few chromosomes leads to multiple gene rearrangements (in some cases tens to hundreds) that can disrupt tumor suppressor genes and/or produce oncogenic fusion genes.
词源
From Ancient Greek χρῶμα (khrôma, “colour”) (referring to English chromo(some)) + θρίψις (thrípsis, “shattering into pieces”) (from τρίβω (tríbō, “I rub”).
