Analysis of variants with minor allele frequency >0.005 revealed additional ARHL associations with known e.g., ILDR1 and novel i.e., ABHD12, COA8, KANSL1, SERAC1, and UBE3B Mendelian non-syndromic and syndromic HL genes as well as ARHL associations with genes that have not been previously reported to be involved in HL e.g., VCL. Rare-variants in Mendelian HL genes typically exhibited higher effect sizes for ARHL compared to those in other associated genes. The gene discussed is VCL; the disease is Hodgkins lymphoma.
