Submicroscopic genomic imbalances in Burkitt lymphomas/leukemias: association with age and further evidence that 8q24/MYC translocations are not sufficient for leukemogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Chromosome banding analyses reveal secondary chromosome abnormalities in addition to the MYC translocations t(8;14)(q24;q32), t(8;22)(q24;q11), and t(2;8)(p11;q24) in 60%-80% of Burkitt lymphomas/leukemias (BL). The high incidence of such aberrations indicates that additional changes are importan...
