Question: Do mDM2 gene SNP309 T/G and p53 gene SNP72 G/C influence diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma onset or survival in central European Caucasians?
Answer: In contrast to the previous study on Ashkenazi Jewish Caucasians, DLBCL in pre-menopausal women of central European Caucasian ethnicity was not associated with SNP309 G. Neither SNP309 nor SNP72 seem to be correlated with age of onset, diagnosis, or survival of patients.
