Gain of 8q24, harboring the avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (MYC), is a frequent mutation in cancers. Although MYC is the usual suspect in these cancers, the role of other co-gained loci remains mostly unknown. We have recently found that MYC partners with the adjacent long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1), which stabilizes MYC protein and potentiates its activity.
