Reduced sister chromatid cohesion acts as a tumor penetrance modifier.

Sister chromatid cohesion (SCC) is an important process in chromosome segregation. ESCO2 is essential for establishment of SCC and is often deleted/altered in human cancers. We demonstrate that esco2 haploinsufficiency results in reduced SCC and accelerates the timing of tumor onset in both zebrafis...
