Various studies have indicated that the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region is associated
with Hodgkin's lymphoma. We recently showed a specific association of the HLA class I …

HLA genotyping and genome wide association studies provide strong evidence for
associations between Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) alleles and classical Hodgkin …

Since an association between the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region and Hodgkin
lymphoma (HL) was first reported in 1967, many studies have reported associations …

The pathogenesis of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) involves environmental and genetic
factors. To explore the role of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes, we performed a …

Previous studies showed that the HLA class I region is associated with Epstein-Barr virus
(EBV)–positive Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and that HLA-A is the most likely candidate gene in …

Familial aggregation, coupled with ethnic variation in incidence, suggests that inherited
susceptibility plays a role in the development of lymphoma, and the search for genetic risk …

Based on the presence of an abundant inflammatory infiltrate, expression of a broad
spectrum of cytokines and the professional antigen presenting phenotype of Hodgkin Reed …

Background Accumulating evidence suggests that risk factors for classical Hodgkin
lymphoma (cHL) differ by tumor Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) status. This potential etiological …

Background: A proportion of the genetic variants involved in susceptibility to Hodgkin
lymphoma differ by the tumor's Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) status, particularly within the MHC …

Summary Background Associations of Hodgkin's lymphoma with HLA have been reported
for many years. In 20–40% of patients with this disorder, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is present …
