proto-oncogene

Host cells have genes {proto-oncogene} that regulate cell growth. Chromosome rearrangements can activate proto-oncogenes. In human chronic myelogenous leukemia, chromosome-9 ends, with abl genes, are on chromosome 22 {Philadelphia chromosome}. Retroviruses incorporate proto-oncogenes from normal cells to make oncogenes by transduction.
