Our previous studies have reported that polymorphisms in DCK, nucleoside diphosphate kinase 2 (NME2), ribonucleotide reductase catalytic subunit M2 (RRM2), and SAMHD1 are associated with chemosensitivity to Ara-C based therapy and disease prognosis in Chinese AML patients [10, 16]. Here, NME2 is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
