Ethnic difference in daycare attendance, early infections, and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
A role for infectious agents has been proposed in the etiology of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), particularly for common ALL (c-ALL; ALL diagnosed in children ages 2-5 years and expressing CD10 and CD19 surface antigens). We evaluated the possible etiologic role of daycare attendance (a proxy measure for exposure to infectious agents) and infections during infancy in the Northern...
متن کاملA meta-analysis of the association between day-care attendance and childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
BACKGROUND Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) may be the result of a rare response to common infection(s) acquired by personal contact with infected individuals. A meta-analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between day-care attendance and risk of childhood ALL, specifically to address whether early-life exposure to infection is protective against ALL. METHODS Searches ...
متن کاملGene variants of CYP1A1 and CYP2D6 and the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; outcome of a case control study from Kashmir, India
Studies on associations of various polymorphisms in xenobiotic metabolizing genes with different cancers including acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) are mixed and inconclusive. The current study analyzed the relationship between polymorphisms of phase I xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, cytochromes P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) and CYP2D6 and childhood ALL in Kashmir, India. We recruited 200 confirmed ALL...
متن کاملAssocition between LAPTM4B gene polymorphism and the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Introduction: Evidence suggests that Lysosome associated protein transmembrane 4B (LAPTM4B) contributes to the risk of numerous cancers. The present study aimed to find out the impact of LAPTM4B polymorphism on the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in the southeastern Iranian population. Materials and Methods: A total of 230 subjects including 110 children diagnosed with ALL ...
متن کاملHypercalcaemia and multiple osteolytic lesions in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
A 12 year old boy presenting with hypercalcaemia (calcium 3.25 mmol/l) and osteopaenia with multiple osteolytic lesions was found to have acute lymphoblastic leukaemia without lymph-adenopathy or organomegaly. Hypercalcaemia is a rare feature of acute leukaemia, but the patients previously described all show very similar characteristics, which were highlighted in this patient. These include age...
