This LMYC sequence was amplified 10- to 20-fold in the DNA of 4 SCCL lines and of 1 SCCL specimen taken directly from a patient. LMYC gene is composed of 3 exons and 2 introns spanning 6.6 kilobases. Several distinct mRNAs were produced in all SCCL cell lines that expressed LMYC. These transcripts were generated from a single gene by alternative splicing of introns 1 and 2 and by use of alternative polyadenylation signals. Comparisons with MYC and NMYC demonstrated multiple discrete regions with extensive homology. Among lung cancer patients, those with only the L band (10 kb) had few lymph node metastases, whereas patients with either the S band (6 kb) or the S and L bands almost always had lymph node metastases.
