Increased prevalence of the rs2230926 mutant variant was detected in both SS-lymphoma and SS-nonlymphoma subgroups compared to HC (8.8% vs. 7.6% vs. 3.6%, p values: 0.04 and 0.03, respectively) in association with higher IgM, LDH serum levels, and PB Bcl-XL transcripts but lower leucocyte and neutrophil counts. Here, CD40LG is linked to lymphoma.
