## Abstract Xenobiotic and folate metabolic pathways are important for the maintenance of genetic stability and may influence susceptibility to the development of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). In this study, we investigated 10 polymorphisms in 6 genes (__GSTM1__‐present/null, __GST

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Few studies have examined the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) associated with parental medication use. As part of a large case–control study conducted by the Children's Cancer Group, we evaluated the association between maternal and paternal medicatio
Sixteen children with high risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who had one or more of the following risk factors: white cell count over 50 x 10g/liter, mediastinal mass, age under 2 or over 10 years, extramedullary involvement, or T-cell markers, were treated by a new protocol. All attained comp
## Abstract Genetic instability plays a crucial role in cancer development. The genetic stability of the cell as well as DNA methylation status could be modulated by folate levels. Several studies suggested associations between polymorphisms in folate genes and alterations in protein expression and
