Lymphoma Translocation

 

What do most of the major translocations for non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL) have in common?

 

                                                  Burkitt NHL          t(8;14)

                                                  Follicular NHL     t(14;18)

                                                  Mantle cell NHL  t(11;14)

They have translocations involving chromosome 14 which is the Immunoglobulin Heavy chain (IgH).

 

 

The name has the answer....  In IgH the "I" looks like the number 1 and you can fit a number 4 in the H!
