As earlier discussed deregulation of c-Myc activity due to chromosomal translocations is a characteristic feature of Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) and interestingly, Bim regulated apoptosis was also shown to be coupled with c-Myc deregulation that ultimately helps in developing B-cell lymphoma (Richter-Larrea et al., 2010). This evidence concerns the gene MYC and Burkitt lymphoma.
