Abstract excerpt

Unlike childhood leukemia diagnosed at later ages, where there is an excess risk in males, there is a notable female predominance in infant leukemia. Since abnormalities involving the MLL gene are frequent in infants with leukemia, we asked whether there are gender differences with respect to MLL gene status.
