deregulation. During the translocation, c-MYC gene on chromosome 8 gets juxtaposed to
the Ig switch regions on chromosome 14. Although the promoter of c-MYC has been
investigated for its mechanism of fragility, little is known about other c-MYC breakpoint
regions. We have analyzed the translocation break points at the exon 1/intron 1 of c-MYC
locus from patients with Burkitt's lymphoma. Results showed that the breakpoint region …
