Leukocytes protect the body against invading microorganisms and body cells with mutated DNA, and they clean up debris. Platelets are essential for the repair of blood vessels when damage to them has occurred; they also provide growth factors for healing and repair.

In about 90% of cases, c-myc is translocated from chromosome 8 to chromosome 14, resulting in excessive transcription factor production that drives uncontrolled cell division.
