One type of this disease is caused by a mutation in the RB gene and a loss of heterozygosity, meaning no functional Rb protein is produced. Another type was found by Peyton Rous to be caused by a retrovirus, and this disease often begins with a gain-of-function mutation in a proto-oncogene. Later stages of this type of disease may involve the metastasis of a malignant tumor. For 10 points, name this unchecked proliferation of mutated cells, forms of which include leukemia and those affecting the lung and skin.
