Abstract
Purpose DNA damage to hematopoietic progenitor cells is an essential factor for leukemia development as a failure of the host DNA repair system to fix errors in DNA. This study aimed to assess the association of XRCC1 gene polymorphisms including Arg194Trp, Arg399Gln, and Arg280His with the risk of development of CML in Sudanese population. Patients and Methods The present study was conducted on 186 newly diagnosed patients with CML, aged 19–70 years (118 males and 68 females; mean age of 46.15±13.91 years) and 186 normal healthy controls (123 males and 63 females; mean age of 44.94±8.97 years). Polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay was utilized to analyze the XRCC1 (Arg194Trp, Arg399Gln, and Arg280His) gene polymorphisms. Results The genotypic frequencies of Arg399Gln polymorphism in cases were 131 (70.4%) homozygous Arg/Arg, 46 (24.7%) homozygous Gln/Gln, and 9 (4.8%) heterozygous Arg/Gln as compared to the controls ie, 153 (82.3%), 73 (14.5%), and 6 (3.2%), respectively. The Arg399Gln variant genotypic frequencies significantly differed between the cases and controls (χ2 = 7.249, P = 0.027). By comparison, no statistically significant difference was observed in the variant genotype frequencies between the cases and controls in terms of Arg194Trp and Arg280His polymorphisms. Conclusion XRCC1 Arg399Gln gene polymorphism might have an important role in increasing the risk of chronic myeloid leukemia among Sudanese patients. Furthermore, all tested three polymorphisms showed no association of risk of the development of CML with age and gender.

Abstract
Occupational wood dust exposure may be associated with various health effects, especially in wood industry. These effects may be due to inducing oxidative stress which is related to inflammations. Biochemical assessment of antioxidant enzyme activities illustrated role of oxidative stress (OS) on its depletion. Super oxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) were analyzed in 50 exposed workers and 50 control subjects. Also, macrophage inflammatory protein-2 was assessed among these workers as it was produced upon dust exposure. Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (EPHX1) enzyme shared in the protective mechanism against wood dust oxidative stress. It plays a dual role in the metabolism of environmental pollutants, detoxification, and bioactivation. Gene polymorphisms of EPHX1 may be associated with variations in enzyme activity. Polymorphisms in exons 3 and 4 have resulted in either decreased (slow conjugating allele) or increased (fast conjugating allele) activity in vitro. We aimed to evaluate the associations between EPHX1 polymorphisms and change in antioxidant status (SOD, CAT, and GPx) among wood dust exposed workers. EPHX1 genotyping in exon 3 and exon 4 polymorphisms was carried out by PCR-RFLP. Our result shows a significant reduction in enzymatic antioxidants (SOD, CAT, and GPx) levels with significant rise in MIP-2 levels in worker group. Also, there are significant variations in SOD, CAT, and GPx levels as well as in MIP-2 in different genotypes of EPHX polymorphisms in exon 3 or 4 (specially in Hist-Hist genotypes in both exons). We can conclude an alteration in antioxidant status in both slow and fast allele of EPHX gene polymorphisms with release of MIP-2 protein in wood workers.

Abstract
DNA repair pathways, which are also identified as guardians of the genome, protect cells from frequent damage that can lead to DNA breaks. The most deleterious types of damage are double-strand breaks (DSBs), which are repaired by homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Single strand breaks (SSBs) can be corrected through base excision repair (BER), nucleotide excision repair (NER), and mismatch repair (MMR). Failure to restore DNA lesions or inappropriately repaired DNA damage culminates in genomic instability and changes in the regulation of cellular functions. Intriguingly, particular mutations and translocations are accompanied by special types of leukemia. Besides, expression patterns of certain repair genes are altered in different hematologic malignancies. Moreover, analysis of mutations in key mediators of DNA damage repair (DDR) pathways, as well as investigation of their expression and function, may provide us with emerging biomarkers of response/resistance to treatment. Therefore, defective DDR pathways can offer a rational starting point for developing DNA repair-targeted drugs. In this review, we address genetic alterations and gene/protein expression changes, as well as provide an overview of DNA repair pathways.

Missense Genetic Polymorphisms of Microsomal ( EPHX1) and Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase ( EPHX2) and Their Relation to the Risk of Large Artery Atherosclerotic Ischemic Stroke in a Turkish Population. Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat 2020; 16:3251-3265. [PMID: 33994786 PMCID: PMC8114577 DOI: 10.2147/ndt.s233992] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2019] [Accepted: 01/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) and microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) both catalyze the metabolism of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), lipid signaling molecules that are protective against ischemic brain injury owing to their participation in the regulation of vascular tone and cerebral blood flow. In addition, mEH metabolizes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, one of the causative factors of atherosclerotic lesion development. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of enzyme activity-modifying missense single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the sEH gene (EPHX2) and mEH gene (EPHX1) and ischemic stroke risk in a Turkish population. PATIENTS AND METHODS Genomic DNA of patients with large artery atherosclerotic ischemic stroke (n=237) and controls (n=120) was isolated from blood samples, and genotypes for Tyr113His (rs1051740) and His139Arg (rs2234922) SNPs of EPHX1 and Arg287Gln (rs751141) SNP of EPHX2 were attained by the PCR/RFLP method. RESULTS Minor allele frequency and genotype distributions for Arg287Gln, Tyr113His and His139Arg SNPs did not differ significantly between stroke patients and controls. However, hypertension- and diabetes-associated ischemic stroke risk was decreased by EPHX1 and increased by EPHX2 variants in stratification analyses. CONCLUSION This study has shown for the first time that the polymorphic alleles of EPHX1 were unlikely to be associated with large artery atherosclerotic ischemic stroke susceptibility; however, protective effects were evident within subgroups of hypertension and diabetes. In addition, EPHX2 Arg287Gln polymorphism, which has been studied for the first time in a Turkish population, was not significantly related to ischemic stroke, but increased the stroke risk in subgroup analysis.

Abstract
Objective: We carried out a meta-analysis of case-control studies to determine whether epoxide hydrolase 1 (EPHX1) gene polymorphism rs1051740 was related to the risk of ovarian cancer. Methods: Electronic databases were searched for relevant articles published in English or Chinese language. We calculated crude odds ratios (ORs) with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) to assess the relationship of EPHX1 polymorphism rs1051740 with ovarian cancer risk. In addition, subgroup analyses were also conducted based on ethnicity and control source. Between-study heterogeneity was inspected with Q test and I2 statistic. Results: Five eligible studies with a total of 1919 ovarian cancer patients and 1829 controls were ultimately included in the present meta-analysis. Overall results demonstrated that the association between EPHX1 polymorphism rs1051740 and ovarian cancer risk had no statistical significance either in total analysis or in subgroup analyses by ethnicity and source of control. Conclusion: EPHX1 polymorphism rs1051740 may have no independent effect on ovarian cancer susceptibility.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to investigate the extent of genotoxic risk and the association between null GSTM1/GSTT1 and GSTP1 Ile105Val variants and cellular DNA damage, as measured by micronucleus (MN) assay in a group of agricultural workers from Denizli, Turkey. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 116 subjects, including 58 workers who were occupationally exposed to pesticides and 58 healthy unexposed controls. The MN frequencies of each individual were assessed by cytokinesis-blocked micronuclei assays on lymphocytes. Genotypes for different GST variants were determined using polymerase chain reaction-based methods. A significant 3.4-fold increase in MN frequency was observed in workers compared with the controls ( p < 0.001). Among the GST genotypes, only the GSTM1 null genotype was found to be significantly associated with an increased MN frequency in workers ( p = 0.01). Individuals with a concomitant null GSTM1/GSTT1 genotype demonstrated a significant ( p = 0.01) increase in MN frequency compared with those with functional isozymes in the exposed worker group. The association of the GSTM1 null genotype with higher MN frequency suggests that it may be a modifier of genotoxic risk in individuals exposed to pesticides and may thus be a candidate susceptibility biomarker for human biomonitoring studies.

Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignant tumor common in children. Studies of genetic susceptibility to cancer using biallelic insertion/deletion (INDEL) type polymorphisms associated with cancer development pathways may help to clarify etymology of ALL. In this study, we investigate the role of eight functional INDEL polymorphisms and influence of genetic ancestry to B-cell ALL susceptibility in children of Brazilian Amazon population, which has a high degree of inter-ethnic admixture. Ancestry analysis was estimated using a panel of 48 autosomal ancestry informative markers. 130 B-cell ALL patients and 125 healthy controls were included in this study. The odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were adjusted for confounders. The results indicated an association between the investigated INDEL polymorphisms in CASP8 (rs3834129), CYP19A1 (rs11575899) e XRCC1 (rs3213239) genes in the development of B-cell ALL. The carriers of Insertion/Insertion (Ins/Ins) genotype of the polymorphism in CASP8 gene presented reduced chances of developing B-cell ALL (P=0.001; OR=0.353; 95% CI=0.192-0.651). The Deletion/Deletion (Del/Del) genotype of the polymorphism in CYP19A1 gene was associated to a lower chance of developing B-cell ALL (P=3.35×10-6; OR=0.121; 95% CI=0.050-0.295), while Del/Del genotype of the polymorphism in XRCC1 gene was associated to a higher chance of developing B-cell ALL (P=2.01×10-4; OR=6.559; 95% CI=2.433-17.681). We also found that Amerindian ancestry correlates with the risk of B-cell ALL. For each increase of 10% in the Amerindian ancestry results in 1.4-fold chances of developing B-cell ALL (OR=1.406; 95% IC=1.123-1.761), while each increase of 10% in the European ancestry presents a protection effect in the development of B-cell ALL (OR=0.666; 95% IC=0.536-0.827). The results suggest that genetic factors influence leukemogenesis and might be explored in the stratification of B-cell ALL risk in admixed populations.

Abstract
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (EPHX1) is an evolutionarily highly conserved biotransformation enzyme for converting epoxides to diols. Notably, the enzyme is able to either detoxify or bioactivate a wide range of substrates. Mutations and polymorphic variants in the EPHX1 gene have been associated with susceptibility to several human diseases including cancer. This review summarizes the key knowledge concerning EPHX1 gene and protein structure, expression pattern and regulation, and substrate specificity. The relevance of EPHX1 for human pathology is especially discussed.

Abstract
Acute leukaemias (AL) correspond to 25-35% of all cancer cases in children. The aetiology is still sheltered, although several factors are implicated in causality of AL subtypes. Childhood acute leukaemias are associated with genetic syndromes (5%) and ionising radiation as risk factors. Somatic genomic alterations occur during fetal life and are initiating events to childhood leukaemia. Genetic susceptibility has been explored as a risk factor, since environmental exposure of the child to xenobiotics, direct or indirectly, can contribute to the accumulation of somatic mutations. Hence, a systematic review was conducted in order to understand the association between gene polymorphisms and childhood leukaemia risk. The search was performed in the electronic databases PubMed, Lilacs, and Scielo, selecting articles published between 1995 and 2013. This review included 90 case-control publications, which were classified into four groups: xenobiotic system (n = 50), DNA repair (n = 16), regulatory genes (n = 15), and genome wide association studies (GWAS) (n = 9). We observed that the most frequently investigated genes were: NQO1, GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1, CYP1A1, NAT2, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, MDR1 (ABCB1), XRCC1, ARID5B, and IKZF1. The collected evidence suggests that genetic polymorphisms in CYP2E1, GSTM1, NQO1, NAT2, MDR1, and XRCC1 are capable of modulating leukaemia risk, mainly when associated with environmental exposures, such as domestic pesticides and insecticides, smoking, trihalomethanes, alcohol consumption, and x-rays. More recently, genome wide association studies identified significant associations between genetic polymorphisms in ARID5B e IKZF1 and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, but only a few studies have replicated these results until now. In conclusion, genetic susceptibility contributes to the risk of childhood leukaemia through the effects of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions.

Abstract
We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the influence of two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs2292566 G>A and rs4653436 A>G) in the EPHX1 gene on warfarin maintenance dosages. Relevant literatures were searched using the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CISCOM, CINAHL, Google Scholar, CBM, and CNKI databases without any language restrictions. STATA Version 12.0 software (Stata Corporation, College Station, TX, USA) was used for this meta-analysis. Standard mean difference and its corresponding 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated. Seven studies met the inclusion criteria, including 2,063 warfarin-treated patients. Meta-analysis results illustrated that EPHX1 rs2292566 G>A polymorphism might be strongly correlated with a higher maintenance dose of warfarin. However, no interaction of EPHX1 rs4653436 A>G polymorphism with warfarin maintenance dosage was detected. A further subgroup analysis based on stratification by ethnicity indicated that EPHX1 rs2292566 G>A polymorphism was positively correlated with warfarin maintenance dosage among Caucasians, but not Asians. No associations were observed between EPHX1 rs4653436 A>G polymorphism warfarin maintenance dosage among both Caucasians and Asians. Our meta-analysis provides robust and unambiguous evidence that EPHX1 rs2292566 polymorphism may affect the maintenance dose of warfarin in Caucasians.

Abstract
Purpose Previous studies investigating the association between EPHX1 polymorphisms (Tyr113His and His139Arg) and cancer risk have yielded inconsistent results. This meta-analysis was performed to derive a more precise estimation of relationship between two EPHX1 polymorphisms and risk of different types of cancer. Methods Data were extracted from relevant studies detected by a systematic literature search. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the strength of the association between EPHX1 polymorphisms and cancer risk. Results This meta-analysis carefully collected 99 studies on these two polymorphisms and cancer risk published up to March 2014, consisting of 45 studies (20,091 cases and 27,396 controls) for Tyr113His and 54 studies (19,437 cases and 27,289 controls) for His139Arg. The results in overall population did not show any significant association between these two polymorphisms and cancer risk for all genetic models. However, EPHX1 Tyr113His homozygote individuals have a significantly increased risk of cancer among Asians (homozygote model: OR =1.46, 95% CI=1.05–2.03; recessive model: OR =1.39, 95% CI =1.10–1.76) and mixed population (homozygote model: OR =1.17, 95% CI =1.02–1.34; recessive model: OR =1.17, 95% CI =1.02–1.33), but not Caucasians. Conclusion His/His genotype of EPHX1 Tyr113His polymorphism is a risk factor for developing caner for Asian and mixed population, while no evidence was found for the association between the EPHX1 His139Arg polymorphism and increased cancer risk.

Abstract
Epoxide hydrolases (EH) are ubiquitously expressed in all living organisms and in almost all organs and tissues. They are mainly subdivided into microsomal and soluble EH and catalyze the hydration of epoxides, three-membered-cyclic ethers, to their corresponding dihydrodiols. Owning to the high chemical reactivity of xenobiotic epoxides, microsomal EH is considered protective enzyme against mutagenic and carcinogenic initiation. Nevertheless, several endogenously produced epoxides of fatty acids function as important regulatory mediators. By mediating the formation of cytotoxic dihydrodiol fatty acids on the expense of cytoprotective epoxides of fatty acids, soluble EH is considered to have cytotoxic activity. Indeed, the attenuation of microsomal EH, achieved by chemical inhibitors or preexists due to specific genetic polymorphisms, is linked to the aggravation of the toxicity of xenobiotics, as well as the risk of cancer and inflammatory diseases, whereas soluble EH inhibition has been emerged as a promising intervention against several diseases, most importantly cardiovascular, lung and metabolic diseases. However, there is reportedly a significant overlap in substrate selectivity between microsomal and soluble EH. In addition, microsomal and soluble EH were found to have the same catalytic triad and identical molecular mechanism. Consequently, the physiological functions of microsomal and soluble EH are also overlapped. Thus, studying the biological effects of microsomal or soluble EH alterations needs to include the effects on both the metabolism of reactive metabolites, as well as epoxides of fatty acids. This review focuses on the multifaceted role of EH in the metabolism of xenobiotic and endogenous epoxides and the impact of EH modulations.

Abstract
Previous reports implicate XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism as a possible risk factor for several cancers. Increasing studies have been conducted on the association of XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphisms with susceptibility to leukemia. However, conflicting results have been generated. The goal of the present study was to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship. Meta-analyses assessing the association of XRCC1 Arg399Gln variation with leukemia were conducted, and subgroup analyses on ethnicity and clinical types were further performed. Eligible studies were identified for the period up to February 2013. Consequently, 16 publications including 17 case-control studies with 2,647 cases and 5,518 controls were selected for analysis. The overall data indicated a significant association of XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism with leukemia risk (Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.37, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.08-1.74; dominant model: OR = 1.23, 95%CI = 1.03-1.46; recessive model: OR = 1.23, 95%CI = 1.06-1.44). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, Gln allele may increase leukemia susceptibility among Asians (Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.82, 95%CI = 1.19-2.78; dominant model: OR = 1.53, 95%CI = 1.00-2.33; recessive model: OR = 1.51, 95%CI = 1.11-2.06), but not Caucasians or mixed ethnicities. In the subgroup analysis by clinical types, increased risk was observed in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) subgroup (Gln/Gln versus Arg/Arg: OR = 1.45, 95%CI = 1.09-1.93; recessive model: OR = 1.30, 95%CI = 1.00-1.69), but not in acute myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or chronic myeloid leukemia subgroups, respectively. Collectively, the results of the present study suggest that XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism might be a low-penetrant risk factor for leukemia, particularly among Asians. Homozygous Gln/Gln alleles might have a correlation with increased ALL susceptibility.

Abstract
Background The interplay between genetic susceptibility and carcinogenic exposure is important in the development of haematopoietic malignancies. EPHX1, NQO1 and PON1 are three genes encoding proteins directly involved in the detoxification of potential carcinogens. Methods We have studied the prevalence of three functional polymorphisms affecting these genes rs1051740 EPHX1, rs1800566 NQO1 and rs662 PON1 in 215 patients with lymphoma and 214 healthy controls. Results Genotype frequencies for EPHX and NQO1 polymorphisms did not show any correlation with disease. In contrast, the GG genotype in the PON1 polymorphism was found to be strongly associated with the disease (15.3% vs. 4.7%; OR = 3.7 CI (95%): 1.8-7.7; p < 0.001). According to the pathological diagnosis this association was related to follicular (p = 0.004) and diffuse large B-cell (p = 0.016) lymphomas. Conclusions Despite the fact that further confirmation is needed, this study shows that the PON1 GG genotype in rs662 polymorphism could be a risk factor for B-cell lymphomas.

Abstract
Discovering genetic predictors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) necessitates the evaluation of novel factors including maternal genetic effects, which are a proxy for the intrauterine environment, and robust epidemiologic study designs. Therefore, we evaluated five maternal and offspring xenobiotic metabolism haplotypes and the risk of childhood ALL among 120 case-parent triads. Two of the five haplotypes were significantly associated with risk: GSTM3/GSTM4 (P=0.01) and GSTP1 (P=0.02). The EPHX1 haplotype was marginally associated with risk (P=0.05), whereas haplotypes in CYP1B1 and GSTA4 were not. Our results suggest genetic variation in xenobiotic metabolism is important in childhood ALL etiology.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a clonal myeloproliferative disorder, is characterized primarily by the presence of chimeric BCR-ABL oncogene, and its progression from chronic to blast phase is associated with the accumulation of additional molecular and chromosomal abnormalities. The molecular mechanisms underlying this genetic instability are poorly understood. The activity of BCR-ABL is known to be associated with the increased production of intracellular reactive oxygen species and spontaneous DNA damage, which when effected by impaired/inaccurate DNA repair systems result in increased susceptibility to CML progression. Using case-control study design, we explored possible association of the repair gene, XRCC1, particularly the codons 399, 280, and 194 polymorphisms screened through PCR-RFLP, with the CML in the sample of 350 cases (206 male and 144 female) and 350 controls from Hyderabad, the capital city of state of the Andhra Pradesh, India. The patient group constituted 301 early chronic phase cases followed by 28 accelerated and 21 blast phase cases. The median age of the patients was 42 years (range, 9-70 years). The genotype distribution revealed significant association of codons 399 (χ(2) = 11.904, degree of freedom (d.f.) = 2; P = 0.002) and 194 (χ(2) = 8.091, d.f. = 2, P = 0.017) with CML, not 280 (P = 0.29). Although these polymorphisms are known to affect the function of XRCC1, the nature and extent of their genetic association with CML does not indicate their direct role in its development. The results seem to suggest that XRCC1 gene might have an important role in CML progression but not in its causation.

Abstract
Common epidemiologic study designs used for evaluating germline genetic determinants of childhood medulloblastoma are often subject to population stratification bias and do not account for maternal genetic effects, a proxy for the intrauterine environment, which may be important in determining etiologic factors for this outcome. The case-parent triad design overcomes these limitations. Therefore, we conducted an exploratory study among 27 childhood medulloblastoma case-parent triads recruited from the Childhood Cancer Epidemiology and Prevention Center at Texas Children's Hospital (Houston, USA) between 2003 and 2010. We assessed 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in nine xenobiotic detoxification genes, as deficiencies in this pathway may induce brain tumorigenesis. Log-linear modeling was used to assess the association between medulloblastoma and both the offspring (i.e., case) and maternal genotypes of each SNP. In our population, there were no offspring genotypes that were significantly associated with disease risk. However, the maternal EPHX1 rs1051740 genotype (RR = 3.26, P = .01) was associated with medulloblastoma risk. This exploratory study highlights the utility of the case-parent triad design, but these results should be interpreted cautiously due to the limited sample size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, there have been a number of studies on the association between XRCC1 polymorphisms and childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) risk. However, the results of previous reports are inconsistent. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to clarify the effects of XRCC1 variants on childhood ALL risk. METHODS A meta-analysis was performed to examine the association between XRCC1 polymorphisms (Arg399Gln, Arg194Trp, and Arg280His) and childhood ALL risk. We critically reviewed 7 studies with a total of 880 cases and 1311 controls for Arg399Gln polymorphism, 3 studies with a total of 345 cases and 554 controls for Arg280His polymorphism, and 6 studies with a total of 783 cases and 1180 controls for Arg194Trp polymorphism, respectively. Odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were used. RESULTS Significant association between XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism and childhood ALL risk was observed in total population analyses (OR(additive model) = 1.501, 95% CI 1.112-2.026, P(OR) = 0.008; OR(dominant model) = 1.316, 95% CI = 1.104-1.569, P(OR) = 0.002) and Asian subgroup analyses (OR(additive model) = 2.338, 95%CI = 1.254-4.359, P(OR) = 0.008; OR(dominant model) = 2.108, 95%CI = 1.498-2.967, P(OR) = 0.000). No association was detected in Caucasians, Metizo and mixed populations. Ethnicity was considered as a significant source of heterogeneity in the meta-regression model. For the other two XRCC1 polymorphisms, no association with childhood ALL risk was found. CONCLUSIONS The meta-analysis results suggested that XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism might be associated with elevated childhood ALL risk among Asian population.
