MYCN as an oncogene in pediatric brain tumors

Abstract excerpt

MYCN, or N-Myc, is a member of the MYC family of transcription factors, which plays a key role in tumor formation by regulating genes involved in proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. MYCN is essential for neural development, especially for the appropriate growth and differentiation of neural progenitor cells, and its aberrant expression contributes to tumorigenesis. Gene amplification and mutations of...
