protoncogén: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que los términos "oncogén" y "protooncogén" se escriben con tilde por ser palabras agudas que terminan en ene. [...] Se aplica lo mismo para "protooncogén", que se refiere a los genes cuya mutación o amplificación da lugar a un "oncogén". En este caso, también es válida, aunque menos frecuente, la grafía "protoncogén", con una sola o. Sus plurales son "protooncogenes" y "protoncogenes", respectivamente. 3, record 1, Spanish, - protoncog%C3%A9n
