Analysis of the Association of Polymorphic Loci rs917997 in IL18RAP Gene and rs187238 in IL18 Gene with the Risk for Non-Hodgkin’s Malignant Lymphomas in Novosibirsk Population

We analyzed the association of polymorphic variants of rs917997 (G/A) locus in IL18RAP gene and rs187238 (G/C) locus in IL18 gene with the risk of malignant non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas in Novosibirsk population. Allele and genotype frequencies of the above loci were determined in patients (243 persons) and control group (371 persons) and compared using �$ 2 test. None of the analyzed loci showed statistically signifi cant association with the risk of malignant non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas.
