 | Diagnosis: Karyotype: Burkitt's Lymphoma. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist. |  | Schematic diagram of chromosomes 8, 2, 14, and 22 which are involved in the translocations (usually 8;14, less frequently 8;22 or 2;8) which occur in Burkitt's Lymphoma. The break points for these translocations are identified by the banding regions (q24, p13, q32 and q11). These break points on chromosomes 2, 14, and 22 correspond to chromosomal regions to which have been mapped the kappa, heavy chain and lambda constant region genes respectively.

 | In the 1950's, an Irish surgeon Denis Burkitt identified a jaw cancer in Ugandan children as an unusual form of malignancy as cancer tumors, now known as Burkitt's Lymphoma. Burkitt discovered that this cancer existed in Africa in hot, humid regions plagued by mosquitoes that spread malaria and viruses.
