DNA Methylation as a Potential Mediator of Environmental Risks in the Development of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
1 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
5-year survival rate for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has risen to approximately 90%, yet the causal disease pathway is still poorly understood. Evidence suggests multiple 'hits' are required for disease progression; an initial genetic abnormality followed by additional secondary 'hits'. It is plausible that environmental influences may trigger these secondary hits, and with the peak incidence of...
