The aim of this work was to investigate the role of EBV and Interleukin 10 (IL10) single nucleotide polymorphisms (−1082A/G, −819C/T, −592C/A) and microsatellites (IL10.R and IL10.G) in susceptibility and clinical outcome in pediatric BL patients, in a region with intermediate EBV association frequency. This evidence concerns the gene IL10 and Burkitt lymphoma.
