Mutations in the coding region of c-myc occur independently of mutations in the regulatory regions and are predominantly associated with myc/Ig translocation.

Abstract excerpt

Constitutive expression of c-myc resulting from a chromosomal translocation, which juxtaposes c-myc to an immunoglobulin gene, is a pivotal lesion in Burkitt's lymphomas. This deregulated expression of c-myc is associated with mutations in the regulatory regions, i.e. the first exon and the first intron of c-myc in tumors where the chromosomal breakpoint is not itself within the regulatory region. Until recently...
