NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is an enzyme that protects cells against mutagenicity from free radicals and toxic oxygen metabolites. The gene coding for NQO1 is subject to a genetic polymorphism at nucleotide position 609 (C-->T) of the human NQO1 cDNA. Heterozygous individuals (C/T) have intermediate activity and homozygotes for the variant allele (T/T) are deficient in NQO1 activity. In previous studies, genotypes conferring lower NQO1 activity have been associated with an increased risk of acute leukemia, particularly infant leukemia carrying MLL/AF4 fusion genes. In the present study, we investigated this association in our population and extended the analysis to other subgroups of pediatric hematologic neoplasms characterized by specific fusion genes.
