Though outside the scope of the current study, it is important to mention that additional functional studies using blood samples from CLL patients are still required to validate our findings and to decipher the exact biological mechanisms behind the observed associations. A potential limitation of this work was the relatively small population size of the CRuCIAL cohort that hampered the validation of the SNPs showing modest associations.}, organization = {European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program 856620}, organization = {Instituto de Salud Carlos III PI17/02256 PI20/01845}, organization = {Consejeria de Economia, Conocimiento, Empresas y Universidad (Granada, Spain) A-CTS-448-UGR18 Consejeria de Transformacion Economica, Industria, Conocimiento y Universidades (Sevilla, Spain) PY20/01282}, organization = {Generalitat de Catalunya}, organization = {General Electric 17SGR437}, organization = {Gilead Sciences GLD17/00282}, organization = {"Xarxa de Bancs de tumors" - Pla Director d'Oncologia de Catalunya (XBTC)}, organization = {Fondazione AIRC per la ricerca sul cancro Fondazione Cariplo TRIDEO 16923 AIRC IG21436}, organization = {Spanish Association Against Cancer (AECC) Scientific Foundation grant GCTRA18022MORE}, organization = {Consortium for Biomedical Research in Epidemiology and Public Health (CIBERESP), action Genrisk}, publisher = {Nature}, title = {Validation and functional characterization of GWAS-identified variants for chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a CRuCIAL study}, doi = {10.1038/s41408-022-00676-8}, author = {García Martín, Paloma and Moñiz Díez, Ana and Sánchez Maldonado, José Manuel and Cabrera Serrano, Antonio José and Hernández Mohedo, Francisca and González Sierra, Pedro Antonio and Cañadas Garre, Marisa and López Nevot, Miguel Ángel and Jurado Chacón, Manuel and Sáinz Pérez, Juan}, }
