| Conditions: |
|
Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin - Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell - Lymphoma, B-Cell |
| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of this study is to identify the genes that increase the risk of developing NHL.
|
| Study Summary: |
|
NHL is the 5th most frequently diagnosed cancer among both men and women in the United
States. Although NHL is known to be influenced by immunosuppression and viral infections
agents (established risk factors), the majority of NHL etiology cannot be explained. There
is significant evidence that a genetic component exists, and that this genetic component
extends across all NHL subtypes. The overall aim of this project is to investigate the
genetic basis of NHL through the use of high-risk NHL families. In order to achieve this
aim, we pooled our resources across six institutions to form a multi-center,
multidisciplinary consortium, Genetic Epidemiology of NHL (GEN) Consortium. This consortium
is funded by the National Cancer Institute and includes investigators from Mayo Clinic, M.D.
Anderson, National Cancer Institute, City of Hope, University of Iowa, and University of
Utah. This family-based research resource allows us to develop a study population enriched
for genetic exposures and will position us to characterize the genetic risk of NHL.
