Chromosomal translocations are found to be a characteristic feature of Burkitt lymphomas. Similar translocations are found in mouse plasmacytomas and both diseases involve interchanges between one of the immunoglobulin loci and DNA in the vicinity of the myc gene. The structure of the myc gene has b
## Abstract Cancer cells require large amounts of micronutrients, particularly iron, for their rapid growth and frequent divisions. Cellular iron uptake is regulated by the transferrin receptor and the hemochromatosis protein (HFE) system. Two frequent mutations in the __HFE__ gene, H63D and C282Y,
