abstract：:By analyzing c-myc specific fragments from white blood cell DNAs of 98 gastric cancer patients and 46 control subjects, we observed 6 unexpected patterns due to presence of a variant c-myc gene in addition to the normal gene. Restriction enzyme mapping indicated that the variant c-myc gene was the result of a 5' delet...
