An early study by Pienkowska-Grela et al. [10] described the recurrent dup(11)(q23q13) aberration in a group of lymphomas with a morphology similar or identical to that of BL but lacking MYC-R and supposed that the 11q abnormality may relate to the phenotype similarity of the two entities. The gene discussed is MYC; the disease is Burkitt lymphoma.
