    Is it necessary to remember these? Are they high yield for exam? If yes, is there any way to remember these?

    Here’s a mnemonic for the B cell non-hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL).

    c-myc (8); cyclin-D (11); heavy-chain Ig (14); BCL-2 (18)

    1. 14 is common in many transolactions
    2. write small chromosomes 1st then larger

    a. Burkitt’s lymphoma (B looks like 8): t(8;14)
    b. Follicular lymphoma (F for fourteen and follicular): t(14;18)
    c. Mantle cell lymphoma (M looks like 11): t(11;14)
    d. Marginal zone lymphoma (outer margins of mantle cell and follicular lymphoma): t(11;18)

    -It’s actually 18 letters in word for follicular lymphoma😅
    F for follicur f for fourteen written first
    -Burkitts lymphoma B for 8 (that is 8 in any translocation is for Burkitts) except t(8,21) for AML M2 that is one associated with chloroma. 🤢
    – ewings e for eleven, e with wings for into 2 (X 2) t (11,22)
    -Synovial sarcoma s for sex (X) SY FOR SHY AT 18 t (x,18)☺️
