The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In tumor cells, these genes are often mutated, or expressed at high levels.
- Most normal cells undergo a preprogrammed rapid cell death if critical functions are altered and then malfunction.
- Activated oncogenes can cause those cells designated for apoptosis to survive and proliferate instead.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Oncogene article was read about 46,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 49: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
