Abstract excerpt
Archived tumor tissue is a useful resource for retrospective studies addressing relationships between genetic polymorphisms and treatment outcomes. However, genotypes determined in tumor and somatic tissues may differ due to cytogenetic and molecular changes associated with malignant transformation and progression. Discordance between germ line and tumor genotypes may be particularly relevant in leukemia because...
