Q

What disease?

A

CLL/SLL

A

t(15;17)

-retanoic acid receptor from c’some 17 –> 15

Good prognosis (tx is all-trans retanoic acid)

38
Q

Translocation in mantle cell lymphoma?

A
  • t(11;14) [Cyclin D1–IGH fusion]
    • Causing Cyclin D1 over-amplification (increased proliferation)

(Mantle played for the Cyclins)

39
