Burkitt lymphoma is not caused by a simple Mendelian inheritance pattern involving dominant or recessive genes. It is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is often associated with the Epstein-Barr virus and chromosomal abnormalities involving the c-Myc oncogene.

If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.


Is burkitt's disease caused by a change to the DNA?

Yes, Burkitt's lymphoma, often referred to as Burkitt's disease, is associated with genetic changes, particularly chromosomal translocations involving the MYC oncogene. These alterations lead to the uncontrolled proliferation of B-cells, contributing to the development of this aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The disease is frequently linked to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, which can also influence these genetic changes.
