In this paper we describe an alteration of the c-myc oncogene present in the white blood cells and normal as well as neoplastic thyroid cells of a subject carrying a thyroid carcinoma. Restriction enzyme mapping and hybridization to human c-myc probes specific for different regions of this gene demonstrate that this subject carries, in addition to the normal one, a c-myc oncogene lacking the first exon and part of the first intron. The levels of the c-myc mRNA in thyroid cells of this subject do not show differences with respect to thyroid cells from other subjects. Taken together, these findings indicate that the deletion of the first exon of the c-myc oncogene, in itself, does not produce overtranscription of this oncogene nor hematopoietic malignancies

Abstract

In this paper we describe an alteration of the c-myc oncogene present in the white blood cells and normal as well as neoplastic thyroid cells of a subject carrying a thyroid carcinoma. Restriction enzyme mapping and hybridization to human c-myc probes specific for different regions of this gene demonstrate that this subject carries, in addition to the normal one, a c-myc oncogene lacking the first exon and part of the first intron. The levels of the c-myc mRNA in thyroid cells of this subject do not show differences with respect to thyroid cells from other subjects. Taken together, these findings indicate that the deletion of the first exon of the c-myc oncogene, in itself, does not produce overtranscription of this oncogene nor hematopoietic malignancies
