The top SNP on chromosome 18 was in a non-coding region but was in low to moderate linkage (0.2 < r2 < 0.5) to SNPs in genes that have shown involvement in other cancers but not lymphoma, including SLC43A1 in prostate cancer [65] and leukaemia [66]; SLC43A3 in angiosarcoma [67]; and SSRP1 (which also had a significant SNP) in colorectal cancer and glioma [68,69]. This evidence concerns the gene SSRP1 and cancer.
