Abstract
Genetic variation in immune-related genes, such as IL10 and TNF, have been associated with the development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in Caucasian populations. To test the hypothesis that IL10 and TNF polymorphisms may be associated with NHL risk in Asian populations, we genotyped 20 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the IL10 and TNF/LTA loci in three independent case-control studies (2635 cases and 4234 controls). IL10 rs1800871, rs1800872, and rs1800896 were genotyped in all three studies, while 5 of the remaining SNPs were genotyped in two studies, and 12 in a single study. IL10 rs1800896 was associated with B cell lymphoma [per-allele odds ratio (OR)=1.25, 95% confidence interval (CI)1.08-1.45; p trend=0.003], specifically diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (per-allele OR=1.29, 95% CI1.08-1.53; p trend=0.004), as well as T cell lymphoma (per-allele OR=1.44, 95% CI1.13-1.82; p trend=0.003). TNF rs1800629, which was genotyped in only two of our studies, was also associated with B cell lymphoma (per-allele OR=0.77, 95% CI0.64-0.91; p trend=0.003), specifically DLBCL (per-allele OR=0.69, 95% CI0.55-0.86; p trend=0.001). Our findings suggest that genetic variation in IL10 and TNF may also play a role in lymphomagenesis in Asian populations.
