Ror γ ( Rorc ) Is a Common Integration Site in Type B Leukemogenic Virus-Induced T-Cell Lymphomas

Abstract
The retrovirus type B leukemogenic virus (TBLV) causes T-cell lymphomas in mice. We have identified the Ror γ locus as an integration site in 19% of TBLV-induced tumors. Overexpression of one or more Ror γ isoforms in >77% of the tumors tested may complement apoptotic effects of c- myc overexpression.
