Abstract excerpt
SNPs in IKZF1 are associated with inherited susceptibility to B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). Besides, somatic copy number abnormalities (CNA) in genes related to lymphopoiesis (e.g., IKZF1, CDKN2A/B, BTG1) impact patient's outcome. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate an association between germline susceptibility and CNAs in BCP-ALL. The IKZF1 SNPs (rs11978267 and rs4132601) were...
