GJB2 and Hodgkins lymphoma: These findings align with previous publications [38] and may be due to (i) the GJB2 variant being coincidental, with HL secondary to variants in another NSHL gene, (ii) failure to detect a second, possibly intronic functionally significant variant in GJB2, (iii) the GJB2 variant modifies the expression of other variants in related HL genes or (iv) the GJB2 variant being coincidental and the HL stemming from a non-genetic aetiology.
