In multivariate investigations, principal component analysis (PCA) yielded PC1 (PTA, age, LINE-1, HAMP, SLC40A1) and PC2 (sex, HFEC282Y, SOD2, HAMP) among the five generated PCs, and logistic regression analysis ascribed to PC1 an inverse association with moderate/severe/profound HL (OR = 0.60; 0.42–0.86; P = 0.0006) and with severe/profound HL (OR = 0.52; 0.35–0.76; P = 0.001). Here, SLC40A1 is linked to Hodgkins lymphoma.
