In addition to mutations in the coding region and regulatory elements,oncogenes often arise by which mechanism?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oncogenes can arise through gene amplification, which results in an increased copy number of the oncogene. This can lead to high levels of expression and dysregulation of cellular processes. Loss of heterozygosity, splice mutations, interstitial deletions, and nondisjunction are also mechanisms that can contribute to the development of cancer, but they are not as commonly associated with the formation of oncogenes.
