A substantial body of evidence indicates that specific chromosomal abnormalities play an important role in the genesis of certain human and animal tumors. In a number of chromosomal translocations, cellular homologues of retroviral transforming genes are located near the breakpoints, suggesting that
## Abstract Reciprocal translocations involving the immunoglobulin loci and the cellular oncogene __MYC__ are hallmark mutations of the human postgerminal center B cell neoplasm, Burkitt's lymphoma. They are occasionally found in other B cell lymphomas, as well. Translocations involving the heavy c
