Research Interest - ALL in children

As mentioned previously, I am interested in learning more about ALL and why it occurs more frequently in children than in young adults. One aspect that I am willing to tackle and do more research on is the genetic aspect of this disease. Upon my initial research, I have discovered that children with Down syndrome are more at risk for developing ALL; there has to be a genetic cause that induces children with Down Syndrome to be more at risk to develop ALL than others.

This is just one idea that I am brainstorming at the moment. If you are interested, feel free to comment back on this thread.
