Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children. TCF3-PBX1 fusion defines a common molecular subtype of ALL with unique clinical features, but the molecular basis of its inherited susceptibility is unknown. In a genome-wide association study of 1494 ALL cases and 2057 non-ALL controls, we identified a germline risk locus located in an intergenic region between BCL11A and PAPOLG:...
