Abstract
Aim: To determine the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in noncoding RNAs in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) subtypes. Materials & methods: We screened all SNPs in 130 pre-miRNA genes to assess their role in the susceptibility of the most common subtypes of ALL: hyperdiploid and ETV6-RUNX1. Results: In two independent cohorts, we found a significant association between rs10406069 in miR-5196 and the risk of developing hyperdiploid ALL. This observation could be explained by the impact of the SNP on miR-5196 expression and in turn, in its target genes. Indeed, rs10406069 was associated with expression changes in SMC1A, a gene involved in sister chromatin cohesion. Conclusion: rs10406069 in miR-5196 may have a relevant role in hyperdiploid ALL risk.
