t(11;14) is a chromosomal translocation which essentially always involves the immunoglobulin heavy locus, also known as IGH in the q32 region of chromosome 14, as well as cyclin D1 which is located in the q13 of chromosome 11 .[2] Specifically, the translocation is at t(11;14)(q13;q32).[3][4]
In multiple myeloma, t(11;14) is a neutral prognostic factor in general, but it may confer a worse prognosis for overall survival in African American people with multiple myeloma.[5]
