Guest guest Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 14q32 is the location of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IGH). It is a frequent site of translocations (genes moved next to other genes) and deletions in B cell lymphomas as it is a site where the DNA normally would break during the process of B cell maturation. It is not one of the classic CLL abnormalities that is connect with prognosis. It is commonly seen in other lymphomas. It can be seen in CLL though its meaning is quite variable. 5' or 3' just refers to the different ends of the genes.
