Aneuploidy, which results from chromosome mis-segregation, is a hallmark of cancer, but it can also inhibit tumorigenesis. Recent studies on the short- and long-term consequences of aneuploidy, which are caused by gene-specific effects and a stereotypic aneuploidy stress response, provide insights into this contradictory role in tumorigenesis.
