LOH was observed at multiple 11q loci in 129 of 295 (44%) sporadic neuroblastomas, 5 of 15 (33%) familial neuroblastomas, and 5 of 21 (24%) neuroblastoma cell lines. A single region of 2.1 cM within 11q23.3, flanked by markers D11S1340 and D11S1299, was deleted in all specimens with 11q LOH. Allelic loss at 11q23 was inversely related to MYCN amplification (P less than 0.001).

Expression of lncUSMYCN was upregulated in only a few neuroblastomas that did not show MYCN amplification. Knockdown of lncUSMYCN via small interfering RNA reduced MYCN mRNA expression in a human neuroblastoma cell line, and ectopic expression of lncUSMYCN upregulated exogenous MYCN mRNA and induced cell proliferation. Unlike other lncRNAs, lncUSMYCN did not directly modulate MYCN promoter activity, but it bound directly to the RNA-binding protein NONO (<a href="/entry/300084">300084</a>), which then increased MYCN expression.

Most mutations created stop codons or frameshifts in the 3-prime end of the open reading frame just before or in the regions encoding the basic helix-loop-helix and leucine-zipper domains. The authors identified 3 different missense mutations at 2 adjacent arginine residues (<a href="#0001">164840.0001</a>-<a href="#0003">164840.0003</a>). These arginines are at the core of the basic helix-loop-helix domain and are strictly conserved among members of the Myc family. The corresponding arginines in MYC (<a href="/entry/190080">190080</a>), arg366 and arg367, are crucial for DNA binding. Conservation of these residues suggests that they have a similar role in MYCN. Complete deletion of the MYCN gene was observed in 2 families, indicating that MYCN haploinsufficiency gives rise to a phenotype comparable to that observed for the other mutations and suggesting that these alleles are effectively null. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=15821734+14518066+10677303" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p><p><a href="#22" class="mim-tip-reference" title="Marcelis, C.

Retinas of Nmyc-deficient mice were hypocellular, but they were precisely proportioned to the size of the eye. Nmyc repressed expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(Kip1), but acted independently of cyclin D1 (<a href="/entry/168461">168461</a>). Acute inactivation of Nmyc led to increased expression of p27(Kip1), and simultaneous inactivation of p27(Kip1) and Nmyc rescued the hypocellular phenotype of Nmyc-deficient retinas. Nmyc was not required for retinal cell fate specification, differentiation, or survival. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=18198336" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p><p><a href="#26" class="mim-tip-reference" title="Nishio, Y., Kato, K., Mau-Them Frederic, T., Futagawa, H., Quelin, C., Masuda, S., Vitobello, A., Otsuji, S., Shawki, H.

The heterozygous T58M/WT mice had polydactyly and higher brain weights compared to FS/WT and WT mice, whereas FS/WT had lower brain weights than WT mice. Histologic examination of brains from the mutant mice showed that the T58M/WT mice had thicker cerebral cortex layers and FS/WT mice had thinner cerebral cortex layers at the primary motor cortex. Further studies suggested overproliferation of neural progenitors in the T58M/WT mice and underproliferation of neural progenitors in the FS/WT mice during early development. Additionally, T58M/WT had a variety of kidney abnormalities, including larger kidneys, unilateral kidny, and dilation of renal convoluted tubules, compared to WT and FS/WT mice. T58M/WT female mice were infertile and were found to have various uterovaginal malformations. <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&from_uid=37710961" target="_blank" onclick="gtag('event', 'mim_outbound', {'name': 'PubMed Related', 'domain': 'pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov'})"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus-sign mim-tip-hint" title="Click this 'reference-plus' icon to see articles related to this paragraph in PubMed."></span></a></p>

The mutation, which was identified by trio whole-exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing, was shown to be de novo. The mutation was not present in the gnomAD database. MYCN with the P60L mutation was expressed in HEK293 cells and the level of phosphorylation at T58 was decreased compared to wildtype.

<p>The MYCN oncogene encodes a transcription factor belonging to the MYC (190080) family. It is primarily expressed in normal developing embryos and is thought to be critical in brain and other neural development. MYCN amplification is found in 20 to 30% of neuroblastoma tumors (see 256700), the most frequent extracranial solid tumors of childhood (summary by Wei et al., 2008). </p>

<strong>Cloning and Expression</strong>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Kohl et al. (1983) isolated a genomic DNA segment homologous to the classic MYC oncogene that was amplified in neuroblastoma cell lines. They designated the gene corresponding to the DNA segment NMYC. </p><p>Michitsch and Melera (1985) cloned a partial NMYC cDNA from a neuroblastoma cell line. </p><p>Stanton et al. (1986) cloned a full-length NMYC cDNA. The deduced 456-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 49 kD. NMYC shares a high degree of similarity with MYC, particularly in the putative C-terminal DNA-binding domain. </p><p>Ramsay et al. (1986) identified 2 proteins originating from the same NMYC mRNA. Both were phosphorylated and exceptionally unstable. They were located in the cell nucleus and were bound to both single- and double-stranded DNA. </p><p>By sequencing several NMYC cDNA clones, Stanton and Bishop (1987) determined that transcription from the NMYC gene is complex. Transcription initiates at 2 clusters of sites that appear to be under the control of 2 distinct promoters. In addition, 2 alternative first exons, 1a and 1b, are spliced to a common acceptor site in exon 2. Both mRNAs encode the 65- and 67-kD NMYC proteins. However, exons 1a and 1b both contain putative short open reading frames, 2 of which are in favorable Kozak contexts. </p><p>By in situ hybridization and S1 nuclease protection analysis of early second-trimester human fetal tissues, Grady et al. (1987) found high NMYC RNA levels in cerebral germinal layer and primordial cortex and lower levels in the intermediate layer. After week 20, NMYC expression remained high in the undifferentiated outer cortex, but declined in the attenuated germinal layer and in the differentiating inner cortex. The primitive retina had high NMYC RNA levels in the inner nuclear and ganglion cell layers between 12 and 21 weeks. Lower levels of NMYC RNA were detected in some cells of lung and placenta. Grady et al. (1987) concluded that NMYC RNA is elevated in immature neural cells and disappears with differentiation. They speculated that NMYC upregulation may be unrelated to mitosis, since high levels occur in the primordial cortex, which grows by accretion and not by cell division. </p>

<strong>Gene Structure</strong>

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Stanton et al. (1986) determined that the MYCN gene is GC rich and contains 3 exons. Exon 1 is noncoding and contributes to a long 5-prime leader sequence. The 5-prime UTR contains 2 potential TATA boxes, the first of which probably denotes the major promoter. </p><p>Stanton and Bishop (1987) identified alternative first exons, 1a and 1b, in the MYCN gene that are spliced to the common exons 2 and 3. </p><p>Krystal et al.

<span class="mim-text-font">
<p>Kanda et al. (1983) used human-mouse hybrid cells to map NMYC to chromosome 2. In situ hybridization indicated that NMYC is on chromosome 2p. Schwab et al. (1984) assigned NMYC to chromosome 2p23 or 2p24. </p><p>Garson et al. (1987) used a novel in situ hybridization technique to map NMYC to chromosome 2p24. The nonradioactive technique combined the high spatial resolution and rapid signal development of the nonisotope approach with the previously unrivaled sensitivity of autoradiography. The method, which used biotin-labeled DNA probes and a streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase-based detection system, was compatible with G-banding and could be performed on archival material. </p><p>By study of mouse-hamster somatic cell hybrids, Campbell et al. (1989) mapped the mouse equivalent of NMYC to chromosome 12. By study of RFLPs in recombinant inbred strains, they mapped a second locus, called by them N-myc-2, to mouse chromosome 5. The locus on chromosome 5 may be a pseudogene. </p>

<p><strong><em>Regulation of MYCN</em></strong></p><p>
Manohar et al. (2002) identified at least 4 cis-acting destabilizing elements within the MYCN 3-prime UTR, and they found that HUD (ELAVL4; 168360) binding to this region stabilized MYCN mRNA in cells. Ectopic overexpression of HUD in mouse fibroblasts dramatically inhibited decay of a reporter RNA fused to either full-length MYCN 3-prime UTR or to cis-acting destabilizing elements harboring HUD-binding sites. Manohar et al. (2002) suggested that HUD may contribute to the malignant phenotype of neuroblastoma cells by stabilizing MYCN mRNA, thereby enhancing steady-state levels of expression of this oncogene. </p><p>By database analysis, Wei et al. (2008) found that 5 microRNA (miRNA) genes map to a region of chromosome 1p36 that is often deleted in neuroblastomas. Three of these miRNAs, MIR200B (612091), MIR429 (612094), and MIR34A (611172), were predicted to target the MYCN gene. Wei et al. (2008) found that transfection of MIR34A, but not MIR200B or MIR429, significantly reduced cell growth in IMR32 human fibroblasts and LAN5 human neuroblastoma cells, both of which overexpress MYCN. Western blot analysis showed that transfection of IMR32 and LAN5 cells with MIR34A significantly reduced MYCN expression. MIR34A also induced apoptosis in IMR32 cells. Reporter gene assays confirmed that MIR34A directly targeted the MYCN 3-prime UTR. RT-PCR revealed reduced MIR34A expression in 8 primary neuroblastomas with 1p36 deletion compared with those with normal copy number, and 7 of these showed MYCN overexpression. Wei et al. (2008) concluded that MIR34A suppresses MYCN expression and has a role in limiting cell growth. </p><p><strong><em>Antisense Transcription of MYCN</em></strong></p><p>
Nuclear runoff transcription studies by Krystal et al. (1990) revealed sense and antisense transcription across exon 1 of the NMYC locus. They determined that both polyadenylated and nonpolyadenylated antisense transcripts (NCYM; 605374) are stable and that the nonpolyadenylated NCYM transcripts have 5-prime ends complementary to the 5-prime ends of the NMYC sense mRNA. Using a double RNase protection assay to analyze a human small cell lung cancer cell line, Krystal et al. (1990) found that most of the cytoplasmic nonpolyadenylated NCYM RNA existed in an RNA-RNA duplex with about 5% of the sense NMYC mRNA. Duplex formation appeared to occur with only a subset of the multiple forms of the NMYC mRNA, with the transcriptional initiation site of the sense NMYC RNA playing a role in determining this selectivity. Most duplexes included both exon 1 and intron 1 sequences of NMYC, and Krystal et al. (1990) hypothesized that duplex formation may modulate RNA processing by preserving a population of NMYC mRNA that retains intron 1. </p><p>Armstrong and Krystal (1992) cloned the NCYM gene, which overlaps with MYCN and is transcribed from the opposite DNA strand. The 2 genes appeared to be coregulated in tumor cell lines. </p><p><strong><em>Amplification and Overexpression of MYCN in Neuroblastomas</em></strong></p><p>
Kohl et al. (1983) found that NMYC was amplified 25- to 700-fold in 8 of 9 human neuroblastoma (256700) cell lines that contained either homogeneous staining regions (HSR) or double minutes (DM), the karyologic manifestations of amplified genes. (The ninth cell line showed 30-fold amplification of the MYC oncogene.) Although NMYC is located on the short arm of chromosome 2, none of the 5 HSR-containing cell lines had HSRs on chromosome 2. Amplification of the NMYC gene also occurred in retinoblastoma. </p><p>Kohl et al. (1984) found amplified expression of NMYC in neuroblastoma cell lines, but not in other human tumor cell lines, with the exception of a retinoblastoma cell line. </p><p>Emanuel et al. (1985) and others have shown that neuroblastoma cell lines show HSRs at various sites, that the NMYC oncogene is amplified at several of these sites, and that there is apparently no preferred site for NMYC integration and amplification. Emanuel et al. (1985) stated that there was no direct evidence of amplification with HSR formation at 2p24-p23, the site of the NMYC gene. </p><p>Reviewing gene amplification in neuroblastomas, Brodeur and Seeger (1986) reported that they and other researchers had shown that most DM- and HSR-bearing neuroblastoma cell lines have multiple copies of NMYC. The amplification probably takes place at the level of the extrachromosomal DM, which appear to represent circular molecules, with subsequent linear integration into HSR. </p><p>Amplification of the MYCN gene is frequently seen either in extrachromosomal double minutes or in homogeneously staining regions in chromosomes of aggressively growing neuroblastomas. HSRs have never been observed at 2p24-p23, the map location of the MYCN gene. Corvi et al. (1994) used fluorescence in situ hybridization in the study of 5 human neuroblastoma cell lines to demonstrate that, in addition to amplified MYCN in HSRs or double minutes, single-copy MYCN was present at the normal position on chromosome 2. In 1 cell line there was coamplification of MYCN together with DNA of the host chromosome 12 to which MYCN had been transposed. The results suggested that the initial event is transposition of MYCN, with retention of the normal gene in its position on 2p before the occurrence of amplification. Thus, the mechanisms of amplified MYCN are probably different from those leading to amplification of drug-resistance genes. </p><p>Reiter and Brodeur (1996) generated a high-resolution restriction map of approximately 500 kb spanning the MYCN locus. They found that deletions and rearrangements of the amplicon occurred less often in primary tumors than in cell lines. They also defined a 130-kb common core region of the MYCN amplicon that was amplified in 32 of 33 neuroblastomas. The authors proposed that despite the large size of most MYCN amplicons, the core region that is consistently amplified in neuroblastomas probably contains the MYCN gene and little else. </p><p>Guo et al. (1999) performed a comprehensive analysis of deletions of 11q in neuroblastomas: 295 sporadic, 15 familial, and 21 tumor-derived cell lines. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis was performed at 24 microsatellite loci spanning 11q. LOH was observed at multiple 11q loci in 129 of 295 (44%) sporadic neuroblastomas, 5 of 15 (33%) familial neuroblastomas, and 5 of 21 (24%) neuroblastoma cell lines. A single region of 2.1 cM within 11q23.3, flanked by markers D11S1340 and D11S1299, was deleted in all specimens with 11q LOH. Allelic loss at 11q23 was inversely related to MYCN amplification (P less than 0.001). Within the subset of cases with a single copy of MYCN, 11q LOH was associated with advanced stage disease, unfavorable histopathology, and decreased overall survival probability. However, 11q LOH was not independently prognostic in multivariate analyses. These data were judged to support the hypothesis that a tumor suppressor gene mapping within 11q23.3 is commonly inactivated during the malignant evolution of a large subset of neuroblastomas, especially those with unamplified MYCN. </p><p>Molenaar et al. (2012) reported that LIN28B (611044) showed genomic aberrations and extensive overexpression in high-risk neuroblastoma compared to several other tumor entities and normal tissues. High LIN28B expression was an independent risk factor for adverse outcome in neuroblastoma. LIN28B signaled through repression of the LET7 (see 605386) miRNAs and consequently resulted in elevated MYCN protein expression in neuroblastoma cells. LIN28B-LET7-MYCN signaling blocked differentiation of normal neuroblasts and neuroblastoma cells. These findings were fully recapitulated in a mouse model in which Lin28b expression in the sympathetic adrenergic lineage induced development of neuroblastomas marked by low Let7 miRNA levels and high Mycn protein expression. </p><p>Liu et al. (2014) identified a long noncoding RNA, lncUSMYCN (MYCNUT; 615968), upstream of the MYCN gene within the 130-kb region of chromosome 2 frequently amplified in neuroblastomas. They found that lncUSMYCN was coamplified with MYCN in a subset of primary neuroblastomas and neuroblastoma cell lines. Expression of lncUSMYCN was upregulated in only a few neuroblastomas that did not show MYCN amplification. Knockdown of lncUSMYCN via small interfering RNA reduced MYCN mRNA expression in a human neuroblastoma cell line, and ectopic expression of lncUSMYCN upregulated exogenous MYCN mRNA and induced cell proliferation. Unlike other lncRNAs, lncUSMYCN did not directly modulate MYCN promoter activity, but it bound directly to the RNA-binding protein NONO (300084), which then increased MYCN expression. High lncUSMYCN or NONO expression in neuroblastoma tissue independently predicted poor patient prognosis. Knockdown of lncUSMYCN reduced tumor growth in neuroblastoma-bearing mice. Liu et al. (2014) concluded that lncUSMYCN and NONO play important roles in regulating MYCN expression and neuroblastoma oncogenesis. </p><p>In MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cell lines, Powers et al. (2016) showed that LIN28B is dispensable, despite derepression of LET7. Powers et al. (2016) demonstrated that MYCN mRNA levels in amplified disease are exceptionally high and sufficient to sponge LET7, which reconciles the dispensability of LIN28B. The authors found that genetic loss of LET7 is common in neuroblastoma, inversely associated with MYCN amplification, and independently associated with poor outcomes, providing a rationale for chromosomal loss patterns in neuroblastoma. Powers et al. (2016) proposed that LET7 disruption by LIN28B, MYCN sponging, or genetic loss is a unifying mechanism of neuroblastoma development with broad implications for cancer pathogenesis. </p>

<p><strong><em>Finegold Syndrome 1</em></strong></p><p>
Feingold syndrome-1 (FGLDS1; 164280) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by variable combinations of esophageal and duodenal atresias, microcephaly, learning disability, syndactyly, and cardiac defect. Van Bokhoven et al. (2005) carried out haplotype analysis in a previously unreported family with Feingold syndrome and confirmed linkage to the previously identified 7.3-cM locus on chromosome 2p24-p23 (Celli et al. (2000, 2003)). Affected members carried a microdeletion of maximally 1.2 Mb, encompassing MYCN but no other known or predicted gene, making it an excellent candidate for Feingold syndrome. In a cohort of 23 unrelated families with Feingold syndrome, van Bokhoven et al. (2005) sequenced the MYCN gene and identified 12 different heterozygous mutations in 15 families, 6 of which occurred de novo. Most mutations created stop codons or frameshifts in the 3-prime end of the open reading frame just before or in the regions encoding the basic helix-loop-helix and leucine-zipper domains. The authors identified 3 different missense mutations at 2 adjacent arginine residues (164840.0001-164840.0003). These arginines are at the core of the basic helix-loop-helix domain and are strictly conserved among members of the Myc family. The corresponding arginines in MYC (190080), arg366 and arg367, are crucial for DNA binding. Conservation of these residues suggests that they have a similar role in MYCN. Complete deletion of the MYCN gene was observed in 2 families, indicating that MYCN haploinsufficiency gives rise to a phenotype comparable to that observed for the other mutations and suggesting that these alleles are effectively null. </p><p>Marcelis et al. (2008) analyzed the MYCN gene in 93 patients from 50 families with a strong clinical suspicion of Feingold syndrome and identified 16 heterozygous mutations in 17 families with a total of 26 patients, including mutations in exon 2, which had not previously been reported (see, e.g., 164840.0007). The authors reviewed the clinical features of the 77 mutation-positive patients reported to date and compared them with the largest previous overview (Celli et al., 2003), noting that digital anomalies involving brachymesophalangy and toe syndactyly were the most consistent features, present in 100% and 97% of patients, respectively, whereas small head circumference was present in 89% of cases. Gastrointestinal atresia was the most important major congenital anomaly (55%), but renal and cardiac anomalies were also frequent (18% and 15%, respectively). Marcelis et al. (2008) suggested that the presence of brachymesophalangy and toe syndactyly in combination with microcephaly is enough to justify MYCN analysis. </p><p><strong><em>Megalencephaly-Polydactyly Syndrome</em></strong></p><p>
In a patient with megalencephaly-polydactyly syndrome (MPAPA; 620748), Kato et al. (2019) identified a de novo heterozygous mutation in the MYCN gene (T58M; 164840.0008). The mutation was identified by trio whole-exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Expression of MYCN with the T58M mutation in HEK293 cells demonstrated that the protein was hypophosphorylated compared to wildtype. </p><p>In 2 patients with MPAPA, Nishio et al. (2023) identified de novo heterozygous missense mutations in the MYCN gene: the previously identified T58M mutation and P60L (164840.0009). Expression of MYCN with each mutation in HEK293 cells resulted in decreased phosphorylation at T58 compared to wildtype. MYCN with the T58M mutation was also more stable compared to wildtype. Both mutants were able to activate transcription of downstream genes. Nishio et al. (2023) concluded that T58M and P60L are gain-of-function mutations, which result in a mirror phenotype of Feingold syndrome-1 (164280), which results from loss-of-function mutations in MYCN. </p>

<p>Nmyc is a downstream target of Shh (600725) signaling and promotes rapid cell division of granule neuron progenitors (GNPs) in mice. Nmyc overexpression can enforce proliferation of GNPs independently of Shh signaling, and conversely, its conditional loss during embryonic cerebellar development results in severe GNP deficiency, perturbs foliation, and leads to reduced cerebellar mass. Zindy et al. (2006) found that Myc mRNA levels increased in Nmyc-null mouse GNPs and that simultaneous deletion of both Myc and Nmyc exacerbated defective cerebellar development. Since Nmyc loss triggers precocious expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors Kip1 (CDKN1B; 600778) and Ink4c (CDKN2C; 603369) in the cerebellar primordium, Zindy et al. (2006) disrupted Kip1 and Ink4c in Nmyc-null cerebella and found that this partially rescued GNP cell proliferation and cerebellar foliation. They concluded that expression of NMYC and concomitant downregulation of INK4C and KIP1 contribute to the proper development of the cerebellum. </p><p>Martins et al. (2008) found that mouse Nmyc was expressed in retinal progenitor cells, where it regulated proliferation in a cell-autonomous manner, and that it coordinated growth of the retina and eye. Retinas of Nmyc-deficient mice were hypocellular, but they were precisely proportioned to the size of the eye. Nmyc repressed expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(Kip1), but acted independently of cyclin D1 (168461). Acute inactivation of Nmyc led to increased expression of p27(Kip1), and simultaneous inactivation of p27(Kip1) and Nmyc rescued the hypocellular phenotype of Nmyc-deficient retinas. Nmyc was not required for retinal cell fate specification, differentiation, or survival. </p><p>Nishio et al. (2023) generated a mouse model with a heterozygous T58M mutation in the Mycn gene (T58M/WT) and a mouse model with a heterozygous frameshift mutation in exon 1 of the Mycn gene (FS/WT). The heterozygous T58M/WT mice had polydactyly and higher brain weights compared to FS/WT and WT mice, whereas FS/WT had lower brain weights than WT mice. Histologic examination of brains from the mutant mice showed that the T58M/WT mice had thicker cerebral cortex layers and FS/WT mice had thinner cerebral cortex layers at the primary motor cortex. Further studies suggested overproliferation of neural progenitors in the T58M/WT mice and underproliferation of neural progenitors in the FS/WT mice during early development. Additionally, T58M/WT had a variety of kidney abnormalities, including larger kidneys, unilateral kidny, and dilation of renal convoluted tubules, compared to WT and FS/WT mice. T58M/WT female mice were infertile and were found to have various uterovaginal malformations. </p>

To ensure long-term funding for the OMIM project, we have diversified
our revenue stream. We are determined to keep this website freely
accessible. Unfortunately, it is not free to produce. Expert curators
review the literature and organize it to facilitate your work. Over 90%
of the OMIM's operating expenses go to salary support for MD and PhD
science writers and biocurators. Please join your colleagues by making a
donation now and again in the future. Donations are an important
component of our efforts to ensure long-term funding to provide you the
information that you need at your fingertips.
