[Leptin receptor polymorphism--the evaluation of the hetero- and homozygote frequencies in population of children suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and healthy children].

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Leptin, together with its specific receptor, plays a significant role in various metabolic and biochemical processes in a human body. The Q223R polymorphism of the leptin receptor gene is associated with the increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Body exhausting treatment administered to children suffering from ALL, combined with potentially disadvantageous polymorphism, may lead to...
