study, homozygosity for the MMP9 rs3918241 variant resulted in an elevated OR for NHL approaching significance (US: OR = 1.7, 95% CI = 0.95–3.0, p = 7.4×10 −2 ; Germany: OR = 2.5, 95% CI = 0.80–8.1; p = 1.0×10 −1 ), however, there was no increased risk of CLL with the variant allele as found in the U.S. study.

We also believe that the genetic associations that did not reach statistical significance in the replication study are noteworthy, but due to the sample size, may have been underpowered to detect subtle allelic associations.
