Aside from the enKoRV in BCL2L1, this study highlights the importance of the enKoRV inserted in the intron of SLC29A1 gene, given its high frequency across koala populations and its potential link with leukemia (4.9-fold OR for the reference allele) and upregulation in individuals containing the ERV. The gene discussed is SLC29A1; the disease is leukemia.
