Hypomethylation of the CTGF gene locus is a common feature of paediatric pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

We identified consistent hypomethylation of the CTGF locus in primary pre-B ALL specimens regardless of CTGF expression.

Genetic polymorphisms and childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: GWAS of the ESCALE study (SFCE)

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) accounts for approximately 80% of the acute leukemia (AL) overall cases per year in France. We report the results of a...

Research

Parental prenatal smoking and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia

The association between parental smoking and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was investigated

Research

Sensitization to immune checkpoint blockade through activation of a STAT1/NK axis in the tumor microenvironment

Our results identify a pretreatment tumor microenvironment that predicts response to immune checkpoint blockade, which can be therapeutically attained

Home pesticide exposures and risk of childhood leukemia: Findings from the childhood leukemia international consortium

In this investigation, the authors found an association between home pesticide exposure before birth and during a child's early years and acute lymphoblastic...

Home paint exposures and risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: findings from the Childhood Leukemia International Consortium

This paper demonstrated that home paint exposure shortly before conception, during pregnancy, and/or after birth appeared to increase the risk of childhood ALL.

Research

Heterogeneity in mechanisms of emergent resistance in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Biological changes associated with T-ALL relapse and resistance are stochastic and highly individual

Research

Increased Body Mass Index during Therapy for Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Significant and Underestimated Complication

We undertook a retrospective review of children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and treated with modern COG protocols to determine...

The aggregation of early-onset melanoma in young Western Australian families

Results indicated a strong familial basis of melanoma, with the higher than expected hazard ratio observed likely to reflect early-age at onset cases in this...

Novel CT domain-encoding splice forms of CTGF/CCN2 are expressed in B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) has been shown previously to be aberrantly expressed in a high proportion of paediatric precursor B cell acute...
