Abstract excerpt
Amplification of one of three growth-stimulating myc genes is a common method by which many tumor types gain a proliferative advantage. In metastatic human neuroblastoma, the amplification of the N-myc locus, located on chromosome 2, is a dominant feature of this usually fatal pediatric cancer. O...
