Abstract
- Little is known about the interaction between constitutive and somatic genetic variation in carcinogenesis. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have identified 6 genetic associations, including the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs3731217, located between the CDKN2Aand CDKN2Bgenes. Somatic deletions of this chromosome 9p21.3 region are common in cancer, and occur in ~30% of childhood ALL.
