Modeling HLA associations with EBV‐positive and ‐negative Hodgkin lymphoma suggests distinct mechanisms in disease pathogenesis
AssociationN=850Johnson PC et al.(2015)· International Journal of Cancer

This case-control study of 503 classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) patients and 347 controls identified distinct HLA associations stratified by EBV status. For EBV-positive cHL, HLA-A*01:01 (OR=2.49) and HLA-B*37:01 (OR=2.58) were associated with increased risk, while HLA-DRB1*15:01 and HLA-DPB1*01:01 were protective. For EBV-negative cHL, the SNP rs6903608 C variant (OR=3.61, p=4.5×10⁻⁷) was the strongest predictor, independent of HLA alleles, suggesting distinct disease mechanisms between EBV-positive and EBV-negative subtypes.
