Additionally, Hodgkin's lymphoma has been found to occur in association with Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis, a bone growth disorder that results in shortened arm and leg bones, which is caused by deletions or mutations of the PAR gene SHOX. These findings led to the hypothesis that disruption to SHOX may be linked to the development of Hodgkin's lymphoma [40]. This evidence concerns the gene SHOX and Hodgkins lymphoma.
