c-oncogene (medicine)


c-oncogene
<molecular biology> A normal gene which has a tumour-producing insert that may have originated from a virus in it, turning it into a proto-oncogene.

When these genes are sufficiently mutated, amplified, or over-expressed (transcribed too many times), they can begin to produce cancers.
