A new translocation in Burkitt's tumor cells

Hum Genet. 1979;53(1):111-2. doi: 10.1007/BF00289460.

Abstract

A t(8;22)(q24;q11) translocation was found in blood, bone marrow, and ascites cells from a European Burkitt's lymphoma. Cell surface markers were identified as monoclonal IgG. The relationship between these two unusual findings is questionable in this cytologically typical Burkitt's lymphoma.
