Abstract/Scope of Chapter

This chapter covers the role of host genetic background in determining the risk of development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and summarizes the new developments on the relationship between the host genetic polymorphisms and clinical outcome in NHL. The technical aspects of identifying host genetic polymorphisms and potential clinical applications for risk stratification of NHL based on host genetic polymorphisms are discussed.
