Which of the Following Mechanisms May Contribute to Tumorigenesis Driven

Question

Which of the following mechanisms may contribute to tumorigenesis driven by the myc oncogene?
A)Increased myc copy number
B)Constitutive activation of myc under the transcriptional control of viral promoters
C)Chromosomal translocations
D)A,B,and C
E)None of the above

Accepted Answer

Tumorigenesis driven by the myc oncogene can be caused by multiple mechanisms which includes increased myc copy number, constitutive activation of myc under the transcriptional control of viral promoters and chromosomal translocations. Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
