Among the top 34 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (p < 1 x 10−6), two loci had concordant effects in both cohorts: ALOX15B (rs1804772) (MAF: 1%; p = 3.95 x 10−7) that influences arachidonic acid metabolism and thus platelet aggregation, and KALRN (rs570684) (MAF: 1%; p = 4.34 x 10−7) that has been previously associated with risk of ischemic stroke, atherosclerosis, and early-onset coronary artery disease. Conclusion: This represents the largest GWAS meta-analysis conducted to date associating SNPs to VTE in children and adolescents treated on childhood ALL protocols. Validation of these findings is needed and may then lead to patient stratification for VTE preventive interventions. As VTE hemostasis involves multiple pathways, a more powerful GWAS is needed to detect combination of variants associated with VTE.]]> Wed 20 Jul 2022 14:36:48 AEST ]]> Persistent MRD before and after allogeneic BMT predicts relapse in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27000 50. A Cox multivariate regression model for LFS retained both B-other ALL subtype (hazard ratio 4·1, P = 0·0062) and MRD persistence post-HSCT (hazard ratio 3·9, P = 0·0070) as independent adverse prognostic variables. Persistent MRD could be used to direct post-HSCT therapy.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:49 AEDT ]]> Methotrexate-related central neurotoxicity: clinical characteristics, risk factors and genome-wide association study in children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44512 Fri 14 Oct 2022 09:11:36 AEDT ]]>
