The two regulatory SNPs (−360C and −201C) have been in linkage disequilibrium, and have been associated with a more favorable 2 years disease free survival in 122 AML Asian patients, and this was explained by lower DCK mRNA expression leading to reduced transcriptional activation when compared with the −360C/−201C haplotype [189]. This evidence concerns the gene DCK and acute myeloid leukemia.
