Abstract excerpt
Methotrexate polyglutamates (MTXPGs) determine in vivo efficacy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). MTXPG accumulation differs by leukemic subtypes, but genomic determinants of MTXPG variation in ALL remain unclear. We analyzed 3 types of whole genome variation: leukemia cell gene expression and somatic copy number variation, and inherited single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes and determined their...
