Both enhanced and altered expressions of cellular oncogenes have recently been implicated in specific forms of human malignancy (for review: [2, 8]). The fact that certain human tumors have characteristic chromosomal translocations has led to the hypothesis that specific cellular oncogenes may be 'activated' in these genetic recombinations. In a number of human undifferentiated B-cell lymphoma (UBL) cell lines carrying the t(8:14) translocation it has been shown that the human c-myc gene is located on the region of chromosome 8 (8q24), which is translocated to the immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IHC) locus on chromosome 14 [7, 24]. We report here the molecular cloning of the recombination site between c-myc and IHC in fresh uncultured cells obtained from a patient with rapidly progressive and fatal acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The translocation was associated with an enhanced c-myc expression in the tumor cells of this patient.
