In BL, translocation that involves the movement of part of chromosome 8 containing the c-myc gene onto the immunoglobulin [Ig] heavy chain gene locus on chromosome 14 [14q32], is the most common, occurs in approximately 80% of cases, while a significant minority of translocations also involves the immunoglobin light chain genes at chromosome 2 [κ][2p12] or 22 [λ][22q11]. Here, MYC is linked to Burkitt lymphoma.
