title: The NQO1 C609T polymorphism is associated with risk of secondary malignant neoplasms after treatment for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a matched-pair analysis from the ALL-BFM study group.
abstract: In a matched-pair study, we analyzed the association of a phenotypically relevant NQO1 polymorphism (C609T) with risk of secondary malignant neoplasms (SMN) after treatment for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Patients carrying a variant low-activity NQO1 allele had a significantly increased risk of developing a SMN. The observed effect was restricted to solid tumors.
