31 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Children show a higher incidence of leukemia compared to young adolescents, yet their cells have less age-related (oncogenic) somatic mutations. Newborns with Down syndrome have an even higher risk of developing leukemia, which is thought to be driven by mutations that accumulate during fetal development.
