The dark side of centromeres: types, causes and consequences of structural abnormalities implicating centromeric DNA

Centromeres are the chromosomal domains that regulate assembly of the components required for chromosome separation. Here the authors review how centromeres are a potential source of genome instability and link centromere aberrations and rearrangements to human diseases such as cancer.
