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 …

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

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

To evaluate the contribution of association studies of candidate polymorphisms to inherited
predisposition to Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), we conducted a systematic review and meta …

In addition to HLA, recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of Hodgkin's
lymphoma (HL) have identified susceptibility loci for HL at 2p16. 1, 8q24. 21 and 10p14. In …

Background An inefficient immune response against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is
related to the pathogenesis of a subgroup of classical Hodgkin lymphomas (cHL). Some …

Both targeted and genome-wide studies have revealed genetic associations for
susceptibility, prognosis, and treatment-induced secondary malignancies and toxicities in …

A proportion of classical Hodgkin lymphomas harbor the Epstein Barr virus (EBV). We
previously demonstrated that associations between Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) alleles …

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 …

Background Cytokines are important immune mediators of classical Hodgkin lymphoma
(CHL) pathogenesis, and circulating levels at diagnosis may help predict prognosis …
