Abstract excerpt
L-myc is a nuclear oncogene which is sometimes activated late in tumourigenesis. Digestion of DNA with EcoRI reveals a simple restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) located in the second intron of L-myc, with allele sizes 10 kb (L-allele) and 6.6 kb (S-allele). Some studies have suggeste...
