Article Synopsis
- Epidemiological studies on acute leukemia (AL) risk factors in infants are limited, but maternal diet during pregnancy may play a crucial role in influencing the occurrence of AL in offspring.
- A case-control study conducted in Mexico City from 2010 to 2019 analyzed maternal dietary habits in 109 infants with AL compared to 252 matched controls, using food frequency questionnaires.
- Results indicated that higher consumption of allium vegetables was linked to a reduced risk of AL, while high-fat dairy products were associated with an increased risk, highlighting the potential impact of maternal nutrition on infant health.
NK cells with decreased expression of multiple activating receptors is a dominant phenotype in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

NK cells have unique attributes to react towards cells undergoing malignant transformation or viral infection. This reactivity is regulated by activating or inhibitory germline encoded receptors. An impaired NK cell function may result from an aberrant expression of such receptors, a condition often seen in patients with hematological cancers.

- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is linked to both genetic and environmental factors, with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in specific genes potentially increasing risk in pediatric populations in Mexico.
- A multicenter study was conducted comparing children diagnosed with ALL to healthy controls, examining the impact of SNPs rs2910164, rs12803915, rs11614913, and rs3746444 through DNA analysis.
- The results indicated a significant association of the rs3746444 SNP with a higher risk of developing ALL, particularly in males, highlighting the need for further research on the genetic mechanisms behind ALL.
Introduction: A metastasis is the tumor cell capacity to migrate from the primary tumor and implant itself in tissues of an organ at a distance by hematogenous, lymphatic or contiguity. The main causes of bone metastases are: breast, prostate and lung cancer. It usually occurs in patients over 50 years of age.
