Detailed explanation-1: -Hodgkin lymphoma is caused by a change (mutation) in the DNA of a type of white blood cell called B lymphocytes. The exact reason why this happens isn’t known. The DNA gives the cells a basic set of instructions, such as when to grow and reproduce.
Detailed explanation-2: -The exact cause of Hodgkin lymphoma is not known, but the following have been implicated: Viruses: The Epstein-Barr virus, the same virus that causes infectious mononucleosis (mono), has been implicated as a cause of Hodgkin lymphoma.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some people inherit DNA mutations from a parent that increase their risk for some types of cancer. Having a family history of lymphoma (Hodgkin Lymphoma, Non Hodgkin Lymphoma, CLL) does seem to increase your risk of lymphoma. Gene changes related to NHL are usually acquired during life, rather than being inherited.
Detailed explanation-4: -We conclude that Hodgkin cells show multiple rearrangements involving chromosomes 9 and 22. The aberrations include numerical and structural changes.
