    Classical Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer that originates in lymph nodes. Little is known about its genetic susceptibility. Here, the authors combined existing and new genome-wide association studies to identify risk loci for classical Hodgkin lymphoma at 6q22.33, and nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma at 3q28, 6q23.3, 10p14, 13q34, 16p13.13.

    While Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a common cancer affecting young adults in Western countries, its genetic basis is poorly understood. Here, the authors carry out a genome-wide association analysis in HL patients and healthy controls; identifying a new HL risk locus and implicating TCF3in the disease aetiology.

    Hodgkin’s lymphoma has a genetic component that is poorly understood. In this study, Frampton et al. perform a genome-wide association study in German patients and combine the results with a previously published UK genome-wide association study to identify susceptibility loci at 3p24.1 and 6q23.3.
