We also demonstrated that two genotypes, CC of IL-6 and GG of STAT3, were overexpressed in CTCL patients compared to healthy controls, and that they increase the risk of malignancy development (OR = 1.8, p = 0.04 for IL-6 and OR 2.53, p = 0.0064 for STAT3). The gene discussed is STAT3; the disease is primary cutaneous T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
