Pvt1 oncogene (non-protein coding), also known as PVT1, is a long non-coding RNA gene.[1] In mice, this gene was identified as a breakpoint site in chromosome 6;15 translocations. These translocations are associated with murine plasmacytomas.[2] The equivalent translocation in humans is t(2;8), which is associated with a rare variant of Burkitt's lymphoma.[3] In rats, this breakpoint was shown to be a common site of proviral integration in retrovirally induced T lymphomas.[4] Transcription of PVT1 is regulated by Myc.[5]
