Abstract excerpt
We genotyped 224 patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and 1056 healthy controls and related the risk for HL and outcome of chemotherapy treatment to polymorphisms in genes encoding interleukins and metabolizing enzymes by capillary electrophoresis. Patients with the UGT1A1 TA tandem repeat TA6/6 genotype had a poorer overall survival (OS) (relative risk [RR] 3.63, p = 0.004), and patients above 40 years with the...
