title: The molecular genetics of human non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
abstract: There is increasing evidence to implicate oncogenes in the etiology of Burkitt's and non-Burkitt's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Some of these oncogenes have been identified because of their location at common breakpoints, some because they have been found by transfection assays to be activated, and some because they have been shown to be expressed in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. So far there is no consistent pattern of involvement between specific oncogenes and specific subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This may be because more than one oncogene is necessary for transformation.
