BIRC3 and marginal zone lymphoma: Given that MALT1, another oncogene implicated in the pathogenesis of MZL, is involved in two types of translocations, t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGH-MALT1[45], [46] and t(11;18)(q21;q21) generating the API2(BIRC3)-MALT1 chimeric gene [47], [48], we initially hypothesized that t(2;3)(q36;p13) encodes a FOXP1-related fusion transcript [35].
