Common gene variants within 3′‐untranslated regions as modulators of multiple myeloma risk and survival

We evaluated the association between germline genetic variants located within the 3′‐untranlsated region (polymorphic 3′UTR, ie, p3UTR) of candidate genes involved in multiple myeloma (MM). We performed a case‐control study within the International Multiple Myeloma rESEarch (IMMEnSE) consortium, consisting of 3056 MM patients and 1960 controls recruited from eight countries. We selected p3UTR of six genes known to act in different pathways...
