Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Germline genetic susceptibility to pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pALL) remains incompletely characterized across the allelic spectrum, including ultrarare, high-penetrance cancer-predisposing variants (CPV). METHODS: We analyzed germline genetic data from 3,208 pALL survivors, 7,821 non-pALL survivors, and 377 noncancer controls from the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study and the Childhood...
