KLK2 single-nucleotide polymorphism rs198977 is associated with increased susceptibility and hyperleukocytosis in AML.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous myeloid malignancy with abnormal molecular diversity. Tissue kallikrein 2 (KLK2) is a kind of serine protease, and has a close relationship with the occurrence and development of malignant tumors. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of various genes are associated with susceptibility, treatment and survival of AML. Methods: We investigated the association of KLK2 SNPs rs198977 and rs2664155 with AML. We recruited 284 AML patients and 280 healthy controls from the Han population and genotyping KLK2 SNPs rs198977 and rs2664155 by MassARRAY system. Results: Using clinical data from AML patients and controls, including AML susceptibility, blood count, risk stratification, response to induced chemotherapy and su
