While the function of these genes has not been fully characterized, most of them (LINC00114, novel gene (ENSG00000227706), RN7SKP255, RN7SKP80, 7SK, CCN2, VPREB3, EBF1, NDST3, SNORA74A, and SNORA73B) have previously been implicated in other cancer types including other leukemia types as described in Section 3.4. This evidence concerns the gene VPREB3 and leukemia.
