Studies of radiation-induced acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in mice suggest that the number of target stem cells is a risk factor, and the HLX1 homeobox gene, which is important for hematopoietic development, is a candidate gene. The distribution of the C/T-3' untranslated region (UTR) polymorphism...
