Abstract: Chromothripsis is a mutational phenomenon in which a single catastrophic event generates extensive rearrangements of one or a few chromosomes. This extreme form of genome instability has been detected in 30-50% of cancers. Studies conducted in the past few years have uncovered insights into how chromothripsis arises and deciphered some of the cellular and molecular consequences of chromosome shattering. This Review discusses the defining features of chromothripsis and describes its prevalence across different cancer types as indicated by the manifestations of chromothripsis detected in human cancer samples. The different mechanistic models of chromothripsis, derived from in vitro systems that enable causal inference through experimental manipulation, are discussed in detail. The contribution of chromothripsis to cancer development, the selective advantages that cancer cells might gain from chromothripsis, the evolutionary trajectories of chromothriptic tumours, and the potential vulnerabilities and therapeutic opportunities presented by chromothriptic cells are also highlighted.
