Indeed, we observed that AML cell lines with the highest BSG RNA expression (Kasumi-1 and HT-93) were homozygous for BSG rs4919859 C. Nevertheless, this SNP remains relatively under-studied; other than the current study and our previous work on MM patients [25], only one study has analysed it in the context of coronary heart disease [48]. This evidence concerns the gene BSG and acute myeloid leukemia.
