The initiating event in the formation of a translocation is generally a double-strand break in chromosomal DNA. Double stranded breaks in chromosomal DNA can occur for many reasons, however a major role in generating these translocations is the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway. When this pathway functions appropriately, it restores a DNA double-strand break by reconnecting the originally broken ends using their sticky or
