Amplification of cellular oncogenes: A predictor of clinical outcome in human cancer

Schwab, Manfred, Amler, Lukas C.·1990·Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer

Abstract

Increased dosage of cellular oncogenes resulting from amplification of DNA is a frequent genetic abnormality of tumor cells and the study of oncogene amplification has been paradigmatic for the usefulness of molecular genetic research in clinical oncology. Certain types of human tumors carry an amplified cellular oncogene at frequencies of up to 50–60%. Human neuroblastoma has been prototypic for the importance of oncogene amplification in tumorigenesis, and evidence is emerging that amplification may be an early event involved in a more malignant form of this cancer. It is unclear at which stage amplification plays a role in other cancers. Amplification of cellular oncogenes is a good predictor of clinical outcome in some human malignancies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
