 Later, discovery of further homologous genes in humans led to the addition of "n-Myc" and "l-Myc" to the family of genes.The most frequently discussed example of "c-Myc" as a proto-oncogene is its implication in Burkitt lymphoma.In Burkitt lymphoma, cancer cells show chromosomal translocations, most commonly between chromosome 8 and chromosome 14 [t(8;14)].
