Abstract
These last years, a growing number of altered genes have been implicated in neoplastic development. These genes, in their normal guise, are supposed to be involved in the control of cell growth. Two seemingly different groups of such growth control genes have been identified by different approches, on the one hand studies of highly oncogenic retroviruses and transfection experiments and on the other hand somatic cell hybridization experiments and studies of hereditary cancers.
