Rearrangement and Activation of C-MYC Oncogene by Chromosome Translocation in B Cell Neoplasias

  • Chapter
Genetic Engineering

Abstract

Specific chromosomal abnormalities have long been associated with various human and murine neoplasias (1–3). The most common chromosome defects consist of band deletions, reciprocal translocations and in some cases trisomy of a specific chromosome (1–3). Until recently, the molecular basis of these chromosomal rearrangements and the significance of their association with specific malignancies remained unknown. Cellular oncogenes (almost invariably found to be homologues of retroviral transforming genes) have been shown to exist in an activated form in a variety of human cancers. In the past year, a number of oncogenes have been localized to specific chromosome bands displaying abnormalities unique to specific neoplasias (2,3).
