GWAS in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia reveals novel genetic associations at chromosomes 17q12 and 8q24.21

GWAS in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia reveals novel genetic associations at chromosomes 17q12 and 8q24.21

Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia is common in Latino Americans. Here, the authors conduct a genome-wide association study in a Californian cohort containing children of Latino heritage, and identify loci on 17q12 and 8q24 which may affect hematopoietic and growth-regulation pathways.
