Genetic variations in DNA methyltransferase 1 gene (DNMT1), which encodes the maintenance methyltransferase, have been demonstrated to be involved in cancer susceptibility. In the present study, we investigated whether genetic polymorphisms in DNMT1 could be associated with risk of childhood acute...
