ARF suppression by MYC but not MYCN confers increased malignancy of aggressive pediatric brain tumors

CDKN2A loss and p53 mutations are rare in MYC-driven Group 3 medulloblastomas (MBs). Here the authors generated a transgenic mouse model of Group 3 MB by MYC overexpression and show that MYC suppresses ARF to drive tumorigenesis.
