Identification of four novel associations for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia risk

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) is a common childhood cancer. Here, the authors conducted a meta-analysis with four genome-wide association studies, totalling 5,321 cases and 16,666 controls of European descent, identifying B-ALL risk loci, whose integration with epigenomic profiling in...

Sumario:B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) is a common childhood cancer. Here, the authors conducted a meta-analysis with four genome-wide association studies, totalling 5,321 cases and 16,666 controls of European descent, identifying B-ALL risk loci, whose integration with epigenomic profiling indicates cell-cycle and B-cell development deregulation as central mechanisms in B-ALL susceptibility, often in a subtype-specific fashion.
