Abstract excerpt
Translocation of c-myc to IgH switch regions, or less frequently to one of the IgL loci, is essentially an invariant event in murine plasmacytomas. This results in dysregulation of c-myc, manifested by selective expression of the translocated allele. Human multiple myeloma (MM) has a similarly high incidence of translocations involving IgH switch regions, but c-myc is infrequently involved as a partner in these...
