Chromosome Translocation, B Cell Lymphoma, and Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase
15 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
Studies of B cell lymphomas in the early 1980s led to the cloning of genes (c-MYC and IGH) at a chromosome translocation breakpoint. A rush followed to identify recurrently translocated genes in all types of cancer, which led to remarkable advances in our understanding of cancer genetics. B lymphocyte tumors commonly bear chromosome translocations to immunoglobulin genes, which points to a role for antibody gene...
