Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a common type of lymphoma in extranodal sites. The most frequent chromosome translocation associated with MALT lymphoma is t(11;18)(q21;q21), which generates a chimeric protein of c-IAP2 and MALT1/paracaspase. The c-IAP2/MALT1 fusion protein activates the NF-kappaB pathway, which is considered critical to malignant B cell transformation and lymphoma...
