Background  Double-hit lymphoma is a complex and highly aggressive sub-type of B-cell lymphoma, which has recently been classified and is an area of active research interest due to the poor prognosis for patients with this disease. It is characterized by the presence of both an activating  MYC  chromosomal translocation and a simultaneous additional oncogenic translocation, often of the  BCL2  gene. Recently, a cell line was established from a patient with this complex lymphoma and analyzed using conventional tools revealing it contains both  MYC  and  BCL2  translocation events.    Findings  In this work, we reanalyzed the genome of the cell line using next generation whole genome sequencing technology in order to catalogue translocations, insertions and deletions which may contribute to the pathology of this lymphoma type.    Conclusions  We describe the cell line in much greater detail, and pinpoint the exact locations of the chromosomal breakpoints. We also find several rearrangements within cancer-associated genes, which were not found using conventional tools, suggesting that high throughput sequencing may reveal novel targets for therapy, which could be used concurrently with existing treatments.
