Why does the child get leukaemia

Children get leukemia is not chromosome and gene mutation related, if a large number of exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to carcinogens, etc., may induce leukemia.

1, chromosome and gene mutation

If in the child's development process, chromosome 9 and 22 mutation, can lead to abnormal proliferation of hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow, growth, bone marrow abnormal cell number continues to increase, can form leukemia cells, and then lead to leukemia.

2, a large number of exposure to ionizing radiation

If children long-term exposure to nuclear radiation, X-rays, etc., can lead to bone marrow suppression, abnormal proliferation of hematopoietic cells, and then induce leukemia.

3, exposure to carcinogens

If long-term exposure to formaldehyde, benzene carcinogens, can increase the risk of leukemia.
