Abstract excerpt
The MYC family of cellular oncogenes includes c-Myc, N-myc, and L-myc, which encode transcriptional regulators involved in the control of cell proliferation and death. Accordingly, these genes become aberrantly activated and expressed in specific types of cancers. For example, c-Myc translocations occur frequently in human B lymphoid tumors, while N-myc gene amplification is frequent in human neuroblastomas. The...
