Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients (n=310) were analyzed for four SNPs in the NR3C1 gene. Polymorphisms -627A/G, intron 2 +646C/G and 9bT/C were all associated with reduced event-free survival. Haplotypes composed of AGT alleles at these loci and tagged by the intron 2 +646G variant also associated with lower event-free survival (p=0.03). The progressive impact of this haplotype on outcome was seen with two copies associated with reduced overall survival (p=0.05). Quantitative mRNA analysis in lymphoblastoid cell lines showed that carriers of the AGT haplotype had a higher ratio of GR gamma/alpha isoforms (p=0.04), which possibly explains its association with reduced event-free survival and overall survival.
