Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: FOXO3a is an essential tumor suppressor that regulates the mechanisms of tumorigenesis and leukemogenesis. FOXO3a polymorphisms have not been reported previously associated with an increased risk for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In this study, the rs4946936 polymorphism located in the 3'UTR of FOXO3a was selected to evaluate its relationship with a risk for ALL in Chinese...
