## Abstract Our objective was to test the hypothesis that the risk of childhood leukemia is associated with allergies or a family history of allergy. We used a German population‐based case‐control study with self‐reported information on allergies of the children and their first‐degree relatives. Ou
## Abstract High hyperdiploidy (51–67 chromosomes) is the most common cytogenetic abnormality pattern in childhood B‐cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), occurring in 25–30% of such cases. High hyperdiploid ALL is characterized cytogenetically by a nonrandom gain of chromosomes X, 4,
## Abstract Evidence from a growing number of studies indicates that exposure to common infections early in life may be protective against childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We examined the relationship between three measures of early life exposure to infections—daycare attendance, birth
