Abstract excerpt
Plasmacytoid tumours in mice and Burkitt's lymphomas in humans display characteristic chromosomal translocations involving the c-myc proto-oncogene. Models to explain quantitative changes in c-myc expression have been proposed based on the loss of normal promoters as a result of translocation. However, alternative explanations, such as somatic mutation are needed to explain altered c-myc expression in the absence...
