Relationship Between Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-associated Antigen-4: Programmed Death-1 Genes Polymorphisms and Susceptibility to Pediatric B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Abstract excerpt

Programmed death-1 (PD1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) have a vital role in immune checkpoint pathways. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PD1 and CTLA4 have been reported to be associated with susceptibility to certain autoimmune diseases and cancers. The potential association between SNPs in these immune checkpoint genes and risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) still...
