- Lymphoma risk is elevated for relatives with common non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtypes, suggesting shared genetic susceptibility across subtypes. To evaluate the extent of mutual heritability among NHL subtypes and discover novel loci shared among subtypes, we analyzed data from eight genome-wide association studies within the InterLymph Consortium, including 10,629 cases and 9505 controls. We utilized Association analysis based on SubSETs (ASSET) to discover loci for subsets of NHL subtypes and evaluated shared heritability across the genome using Genome-wide Complex Trait Analysis (GCTA) and polygenic risk scores. We discovered 17 genome-wide significant loci (P < 5 × 10−8) for subsets of NHL subtypes, including a novel locus at 10q23.33 (HHEX) (P = 3.27 × 10−9). Most subset associations were driven primarily by only one subtype. Genome-wide genetic correlations between pairs of subtypes varied broadly from 0.20 to 0.86, suggesting substantial heterogeneity in the extent of shared heritability among subtypes. Polygenic risk score analyses of established loci for different lymphoid malignancies identified strong associations with some NHL subtypes (P < 5 × 10−8), but weak or null associations with others. Although our analyses suggest partially shared heritability and biological pathways, they reveal substantial heterogeneity among NHL subtypes with each having its own distinct germline genetic architecture.

- Limited evidence exists on the role of modifiable lifestyle factors on the risk of lymphoma. In this rk, the associations between adherence to healthy lifestyles and risks of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and n-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) were evaluated in a large-scale European prospective cohort. Within the ropean Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), 2,999 incident lymphoma cases 32 HL and 2,746 NHL) were diagnosed among 453,808 participants after 15 years (median) of follow- . The healthy lifestyle index (HLI) score combined information on smoking, alcohol intake, diet, ysical activity and BMI, with large values of HLI expressing adherence to healthy behavior. Cox oportional hazards models were used to estimate lymphoma hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence terval (CI). Sensitivity analyses were conducted by excluding, in turn, each lifestyle factor from the HLI ore. The HLI was inversely associated with HL, with HR for a 1-standard deviation (SD) increment in the ore equal to 0.78 (95% CI: 0.66, 0.94). Sensitivity analyses showed that the association was mainly iven by smoking and marginally by diet. NHL risk was not associated with the HLI, with HRs for a 1-SD crement equal to 0.99 (0.95, 1.03), with no evidence for heterogeneity in the association across NHL btypes. In the EPIC study, adherence to healthy lifestyles was not associated with overall lymphoma or NHL risk, while an inverse association was observed for HL, although this was largely attributable to smoking. These findings suggest a limited role of lifestyle factors in the etiology of lymphoma subtypes.
