Zusammenfassung
Recently, we described GATA3 (rs3824662) as a new susceptibility locus for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; Blood;122:3298 – 3307). The variant GATA3 allele was specifically associated with so-called B-other ALL and conferred a dismal outcome. Here, we analyzed in 500 patients treated on trial AIEOP-BFM 2000 which somatic genetic aberrations describe the group of B-other ALLs associated with rs3824662 to identify the leukemia genetics underlying the prognostic effect of GATA3 germline genetic variation. GATA3 rs3824662 genotype was negatively associated with hyperdiploidy and positively associated wi…
