Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To find possible therapeutic targets to help prevent long-term brain and behavioural side effects in survivors of childhood leukemia that may have been caused by chemotherapy (Treatment-Related late Adverse Neuro-Cognitive Effects: TRANCE). The study hypothesis is that genetic variations of the elements in the folate-related cycles and methotrexate disposition networks are associated with the deficit phenotype (TRANCE) of childhood leukemia survivors.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Hypothesis Genetic variants of the elements in the folate-related cycles and methotrexate disposition networks are associated with the TRANCE phenotype of childhood leukemia survivors.

Objectives

1. To identify TRANCE phenotypes of the childhood leukemia survivors.
2. To characterize the folate and vitamin B12 levels of these children
3. To identify DNA methylation patterns associated with TRANCE trait in the leukemia survivors
4. To identify SNPs associated with the TRANCE trait in the leukemia survivors.
5. To identify the "deficit genotype" associated only with the TRANCE leukemia survivors, but not with general population children who show developmental phenotypes similar to TRANCE: TRANCE-unique deficit variant
6. To replicate the association between the TRANCE-unique deficit variants and the TRANCE trait in a population of childhood leukemia survivors.
7. To evaluate the importance of rare genetic variants in the TRANCE trait in the leukemia survivors.

Study design: A case-control study of leukemia survivors

Analyses

1. Leukemia survivors will be characterized by their status of neurocognitive function, and categorized into the Deficit case and the non-deficit Control case.
2. They will be also characterized by the following attributes

1. Pathway-based genetic variant status (folate and PK-related genes)
2. Folate and vitamin B12 status
3. Epigenetic markers
3. Comparative analyses between neuro-cognitiive deficit phenotype (TRANCE) and Control on those parameters

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Leukemia survivors with neurocognitive deficit

Leukemia survivors with neuro-cognitive deficit phenotype. Based on DIVERGET and other phenotyping tools, we will identify those with the deficit phenotype. This will be treated as "case".

No interventions assigned to this group

Leukemia survivors without neurocognitive deficit

Leukemia survivors who did not show impaired neurocognitive function, compared to the Control group defined above.

No interventions assigned to this group
