Mutations in genes that lead to childhood leukemia of the acute lymphoblastic type have been discovered by Queen Mary University of London scientists. The study was conducted amongst children with Down's syndrome - who are 20-50 times more prone to childhood leukaemias than other children - and involved analysing the DNA sequence of patients at different stages of leukemia. The researchers uncovered that two key genes (called RAS and JAK) can ...Saturday 16 August 2014
