Binomial Mitotic Segregation of MYCN-Carrying Double Minutes in Neuroblastoma Illustrates the Role of Randomness in Oncogene Amplification
BACKGROUND: Amplification of the oncogene MYCN in double minutes (DMs) is a common finding in neuroblastoma (NB). Because DMs lack centromeric sequences it has been unclear how NB cells retain and amplify extrachromosomal MYCN copies during tumour development. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We show that MYCN-c...
