We found that IL-10 rs1800893 was associated with an increased risk of NHL, but the association was not observed in a previous study in Germany.[19] Two other common IL-10 SNPs (rs1800890 and rs1800896) were associated with an increased risk of NHL and its major subtype DLBCL in Hispanic Whites, but not in Asians or African Americans in previous studies [10] (therefore they were not examined in the present study). This evidence concerns the gene IL10 and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
