Likewise, the estimates for two imputed tightly linked SNPs (r2 = 0.99) in the IL8 gene, rs4073 and rs2227307 (HRrs4073 = 0.78, 95% CI 0.62-0.97, p = 0.02; HRrs2227307 = 0.75, 95% CI 0.60-0.94, p = 0.01), and lymphoma progression were in the same direction as in two previous studies investigating overall survival in FL (Table 4) [3,7]. Here, CXCL8 is linked to lymphoma.
