Abstract We previously identified five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at four susceptibility loci for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in individuals of European ancestry through a large genome-wide association study (GWAS). To further elucidate genetic susceptibility to DLBCL, we sought to validate two loci at 3q13.33 and 3p24.1 that were suggestive in the original GWAS with additional genotyping. In the meta-analysis (5662 cases and 9237 controls) of the four original GWAS discovery scans and three replication studies, the 3q13.33 locus (rs9831894; minor allele frequency [MAF] = 0.40) was associated with DLBCL risk [odds ratio (OR) = 0.83, P = 3.62 × 10−13]. rs9831894 is in linkage disequilibrium (LD) with additional variants that are part of a super-enhancer that physically interacts with promoters of CD86 and ILDR1. In the meta-analysis (5510 cases and 12 817 controls) of the four GWAS discovery scans and four replication studies, the 3p24.1 locus (rs6773363; MAF = 0.45) was also associated with DLBCL risk (OR = 1.20, P = 2.31 × 10−12). This SNP is 29 426-bp upstream of the nearest gene EOMES and in LD with additional SNPs that are part of a highly lineage-specific and tumor-acquired super-enhancer that shows long-range interaction with AZI2 promoter. These loci provide additional evidence for the role of immune function in the etiology of DLBCL, the most common lymphoma subtype.

Zusammenfassung. Maligne Lymphome unterteilen sich zwar in über 60 Entitäten, das grosszellige B-Zell-Lymphom, das follikuläre Lymphom, der Hodgkin und das Mantelzell-Lymphom machen aber mehr als die Hälfte aller Lymphome aus. Im revidierten Ann Arbor staging system gelten die Suffixe «A» und «B» nur noch für den Hodgkin. «E» erscheint nur noch bei Stadien I und II. Eine Knochenmarksuntersuchung wird beim Hodgkin nicht mehr verlangt, beim DLBCL (Diffuse large B cell lymphoma) nur, falls das PET keinen Knochenmark-Befall zeigt. Der PET-Untersuchung, speziell dem Interim-PET, kommt eine entscheidende Bedeutung zu. PET-gesteuerte Therapien führen zu weniger Toxizität. Gezielt wirkende Medikamente mit eindrücklicher Wirksamkeit wurden neu zugelassen. Deren Kosten sind hoch. Eine strahlen- und chemotherapiefreie Behandlung maligner Lymphome wird in Zukunft möglich sein.
