The Burkitt translocation t(8;14), first identified in the 1970s in biopsies and cell lines from Burkitt lymphoma (BL), 1 , 2 and its variants juxtapose the MYC oncogene to one of the immunoglobulin ( IG ) loci. 3 Nowadays, it is assumed that (nearly) all BL carry an IG-MYC translocation, rendering this somatic mutation a diagnostic marker for all three subtypes of BL (endemic, sporadic and immunodeficiency-related BL).
