MYCN MYCN proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor

ENSG00000134323 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Positively regulates the transcription of MYCNOS in neuroblastoma cells. .

In 8 of 15 cancers, the evidence for MYCN comes mainly from mutations found in tumours

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.10683000087738037 (upper bound 0.2761000096797943). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.

Who runs trials of these drugs

No named investigators on registry trials of MYCN's approved or late-stage drugs in the last three years.

No terminated, withdrawn or suspended trials of MYCN's drugs are registered
