LYMPHOID NEOPLASIA Multiple Hodgkin lymphoma–associated loci within the HLA region at chromosome 6p21.3

چکیده
Since an association between the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) was first reported in 1967, many studies have reported associations between HL risk and both single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and classic HLA allele variation in the major histocompatibility complex. However, population stratification and the extent and complexity of linkage disequilibrium within the major histocompatibility complex have hindered efforts to fine-map causal signals. Using SNP data to impute alleles at classic HLA loci, we have conducted an integrated analysis of HL risk within the HLA region in 582 early-onset HL cases and 4736 controls. We confirm that the strongest signal of association comes from an SNP located in the class II region, rs6903608 (odds ratio [OR] 1.79, P 6.63 10 19), which is unlikely to be driven by association to HLA-DRB, DQA, or DQB alleles. In addition, we identify independent signals at rs2281389 (OR 1.73, P 6.31 10 13), a SNP that maps closely to HLA-DPB1, and the class II HLA allele DQA1*02:01 (OR 0.56, P 1.51 10 7). These data suggest that multiple independent loci within the HLA class II region contribute to the risk of developing early-onset HL. (Blood. 2011; 118(3):670-674)

متن کاملLinkage analysis for major histocompatibility complex-related genetic susceptibility in familial chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) shows evidence of familial aggregation, but the genetic basis is poorly understood. The existence of a linkage between HLA and Hodgkin lymphoma, another B-cell disorder, coupled with the fact that CLL is frequently associated with autoimmune disease, led to the question of whether the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region is involved in familial cases ...
متن کاملA two-stage evaluation of genetic variation in immune and inflammation genes with risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma identifies new susceptibility locus in 6p21.3 region.
BACKGROUND Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a malignancy of lymphocytes, and there is growing evidence for a role of germline genetic variation in immune genes in NHL etiology. METHODS To identify susceptibility immune genes, we conducted a 2-stage analysis of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) from 1,253 genes using the Immune and Inflammation Panel. In Stage 1, we genotyped 7,670 SNPs in 42...
متن کاملPooled analysis of genome-wide association studies of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (CIN3) identifies a new susceptibility locus
Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in subjects of European descent have identified associations between cervical cancer risk and three independent loci as well as multiple classical human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles at 6p21.3. To search for novel loci associated with development of cervical cancer, we performed a pooled analysis of data from two GWASs by imputing over 10 million...
