Preferred Label : MYC-Family Oncogene;
NCIt definition : Variants of proto-oncogenes that are members of the MYC family of early response genes,
which encode regulatory proteins that act as homo- or hetero-dimers. These aberrant
genes are activated by mutations or amplification, resulting in overexpression of
the protein products. This can cause uncontrolled cell proliferation.;
