We hypothesized that CCDKN2A/B rs1063192 and rs4977756 and also the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) CDKN2BAS rs2157719glioma susceptibility polymorphisms identified by genome-wide association studies may contribute to medulloblastoma predisposition.
Three adult glioma risk variants, rs634537, rs2157719, and rs145929329, all mapping to the 9p21.3 (<i>CDKN2B-AS1</i>) locus, were associated with glioma risk in children and AYA.
