title: [Role of oncogenes and anti-oncogenes in dermatology].
abstract: Cell growth is controlled by two types of genes, i.e., activating genes (oncogenes) and negative regulator genes (antioncogenes). Studies have shown that malignant transformation of a cell can result from either increased oncogene activity or decreased antioncogene activity. Current knowledge of genes relevant to dermatology is discussed.
