[Here we review recent work in two complementary areas of research: (1) on cellular genetic changes that occur in addition to the c-myc translocation in BL, in particular the capacity of p53/ ARF pathway breakage or of c-myc mutation to decouple the pro-proliferative effects of c-myc deregulation from its pro-apoptotic effects; and (2) on a postulated role for EBV in BL pathogenesis, through adopting restricted forms of virus latent gene expression that remain compatible with the c-myc-driven growth program but offer the tumor additional protection from apoptosis.].
