Combined linkage and association studies show that HLA class II variants control levels of antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus antigens.
Over 95% of the adult population worldwide is infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV infection is associated with the development of several cancers, including Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Elevated levels of anti-EBV antibodies have been associated with increased risk of HL. There is growing evidence...
