PG - 98-113 LID - 10.1111/tan.12604 [doi] AB - 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 factors has highlighted the contribution of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex. In a landmark study published almost 50 years ago, Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) was the first disease to be associated with HLA variation. It is now clear that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive and -negative HL are strongly associated with specific HLA polymorphisms but these differ by EBV status of the tumours. HLA class I alleles are consistently associated with EBV-positive HL while a polymorphism in HLA class II is the strongest predictor of risk of EBV-negative HL. Recent investigations, particularly genome-wide association studies (GWAS), have also revealed associations between HLA and common types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Follicular lymphoma is strongly associated with two distinct haplotypes in HLA class II whereas diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is most strongly associated with HLA-B*08. Although chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is associated with variation in HLA class II, the strongest signals in GWAS are from non-HLA polymorphisms, suggesting that inherited susceptibility is explained by co-inheritance of multiple low risk variants. Associations between B-cell derived lymphoma and HLA variation suggest that antigen presentation, or lack of, plays an important role in disease pathogenesis but the precise mechanisms have yet to be elucidated.
