Abstract

The NBS1 gene mutation, 657del5, frequent in the Slavic populations of Central Europe, is found in most patients with Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS), a recessive autosomal disorder with a very high incidence of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). We have previously described 2 heterozygous 657del5 mutation carriers among 42 adult NHL probands from Central Poland. Here we report 6 additional carriers of the 657del5 mutation and 2 carriers of the pathogenic NBS1 R215W mutation, among 186 other NHL patients also from Central Poland. The 657del5 carrier frequency in the pooled group of these 228 patients was significantly higher than in population controls (OR 5.85, 95% CI: 2.29–15.00, p = 0.0001). Interestingly, 4 of these carriers were found among 37 patients with gastrointestinal lymphoma (OR 19.52, 95% CI: 5.82–65.42, p = 0.0002). These findings imply that heterozygous NBS1 germline mutations may contribute significantly to the overall incidence of NHL, especially of the gastrointestinal tract, in Central Europe. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Non‐Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) are characterized by chromosomal translocations that juxtapose loci encoding lymphoid antigen receptors with cellular proto‐oncogenes. These translocations are thought to arise from inaccurate processing of DNA breaks created during physiologic recombination
