Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Prenatal folate supplementation has been consistently associated with a reduced risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Previous germline genetic studies examining the one carbon (folate) metabolism pathway were limited in sample size, scope, and population diversity and led to inconclusive results. METHODS: We evaluated whether ∼2,900 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) within 46...
