Which one of the following lymphoma is associated with translocation of c-myc gene on chromosome 8? 
Select and explain. 
A. Burkitt's lymphoma, B. Mantle cell lymphoma, C. Follicular lymphoma, D. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma
A: Burkitt's lymphoma
Answer: A: Burkitt's lymphoma 
Explanation: All forms of Burkitt lymphoma are highly associated with translocation of MYC gene on chromosome 8 that lead to increased MYC protein levels. Mantle cell lymphomas have an (11;14) translocation involing the IgH locus on chromosome 14 and the cyclin D1 locus on chromosome 11 that leads to overexpression of cyclin D1. In follicular lymphoma there (14;18)translocation that juxtaposes the IGH locus on chromosome 14 and BCL2 locus on chromosome 18. In Anaplastic large cell lymphoma there is rearrangement of ALK.
