Therefore, the aim of this exploratory analysis is to determine if there is any indication that DNA methylation patterns are altered in the participants.

To identify TRANCE phenotypes of the childhood leukemia survivors.\n2. To characterize the folate and vitamin B12 levels of these children\n3. To identify DNA methylation patterns associated with TRANCE trait in the leukemia survivors\n4. To identify SNPs associated with the TRANCE trait in the leukemia survivors.\n5. 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\n6. To replicate the association between the TRANCE-unique deficit variants and the TRANCE trait in a population of childhood leukemia survivors.\n7. To evaluate the importance of rare genetic variants in the TRANCE trait in the leukemia survivors.\n\nStudy design: A case-control study of leukemia survivors\n\nAnalyses\n\n1. Leukemia survivors will be characterized by their status of neurocognitive function, and categorized into the Deficit case and the non-deficit Control case.\n2. They will be also characterized by the following attributes\n\n 1. Pathway-based genetic variant status (folate and PK-related genes)\n 2. Folate and vitamin B12 status\n 3. Epigenetic markers\n3.
