At molecular level, BL is characterized by the chromosomal rearrangement of MYC, in the form of reciprocal translocation juxtaposing the MYC gene at 8q24, to the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) locus at 14q32, or the IGK (2p11) or IGL (22q11) light chain loci [2]. The gene discussed is MYC; the disease is Burkitt lymphoma.
