Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate association of host genomic variation and risk of infections during treatment for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). METHODS: We explored association of 34,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related primarily to pharmacogenomics and immune function to risk of infections among 69 ALL patients on induction therapy. RESULTS: Forty-eight (70%) patients experienced...
