Abstract excerpt
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) are associated malignancies with different morphological, genetic, immunophenotypic, and clinical characteristics. Research on genetic susceptibility to NHL is needed to identify at-risk groups and define important disease pathways. Interleukins (ILs) are cytokines that play important immunomodulatory roles. IL-6 stimulates IgG production, exerts antiviral effects, and has been linked...
