  ABSTRACT: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a B-cell malignancy that disproportionately affects children in sub-Saharan Africa. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in a combined set of 800 childhood cases and 3865 controls in East Africa, controlling for age, sex, country, population-specific principal components, and a genetic relationship matrix. This analysis identified a BL-protective region within chromosome 21q22.12 tagged by the rs111457485-T allele (odds ratio [OR] = 0.57; p = 5.7 × 10−9). The results were robust in standard meta-analysis (OR = 0.57, p < 1.6 × 10−8), sensitivity analyses (removing genomic outliers and related individuals), and after adjustment for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) status. Genomic analyses revealed long-range (over ~700
