The present study included 84 patients and 100 controls . Genotyping for both genes was done by PCR- RFLP technique . The study revealed that TNF-308 GG genotype can be considered as protective against acquisition NHL while TNF - 308 AA genotype can considered as risk factor for NHL. LTÜ + 252 gene polymorphism did not confer increased risk of NHL ER -
