Genetic variation in caspase genes and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma: a pooled analysis of 3 population-based case-control studies.

چکیده
Caspases play a critical role in regulation of apoptosis, cell differentiation, inflammation, and innate immunity, and several are mutated or have altered expression in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). To study the impact of genetic variation in caspases on NHL risk, we analyzed tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 12 caspase and related genes in 3 population-based case-control studies (1946 cases and 1808 controls). Gene-based analysis, adjusting for the number of tagSNPs genotyped in each gene, showed significant associations for CASP8, CASP9, and CASP1. SNP-based analysis showed that CASP8 rs6736233 (odds ratio (OR) (CG) = 1.21; OR(CC) = 2.13; P trend = .011); CASP9 rs4661636 (OR(CT) = 0.89; OR(TT) = 0.77; P trend = .011); and CASP1 rs1785882 (OR(AT) = 1.12; OR(AA) = 1.30; P trend = .0054) were significantly associated with NHL risk and consistent across studies. It is noteworthy that genetic variants in CASP8 were associated with risk of all major NHL subtypes. Our findings suggest that genetic variation in caspases may play an important role in lymphomagenesis.

Polymorphisms in innate immunity genes and risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Genetic variation in innate immunity may alter host-pathogen defence mechanisms and promote aberrant immune responses and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). To test this hypothesis, we investigated polymorphisms in innate immune genes in a pooled analysis of two population-based case-control studies of NHL from the San Francisco Bay Area (308 cases, 684 controls) and UK (596 cases, 758 controls). The ...

Objective(s): Non- Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are two main hematological malignances which have been driven from lymphoid tissue. Genetic polymorphisms in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) -308 and lymphotoxin-α (LT-α) +252 may affect their transcription and expression which leads to their high plasma level. The frequency of the TNF-α (-308) and LT-...

Background: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) includes a wide range of diseases with different clinical and biological features. NHL is usually presented as localized or generalized lymphadenopathy. It has been suggested that the HLA class I and II are associated with susceptibility to NHL. Different ethnic groups have been found to have different HLA class I and II alleles which affect NHL. Objective...
