Our results indicate a positive relationship between Fok1 and Apa1 polymorphisms in lymphoma (HL and NHL) patients, findings that contradict a previous study that was carried out to evaluate the vitamin D receptor genotype and allele distribution in NHL, and which showed no clear connection between NHL and FokI or ApaI polymorphisms (Mashhadi et al., 2021). Here, VDR is linked to Hodgkins lymphoma.
