Maternal prenatal infection and childhood leukaemia: a Childhood Cancer and Leukemia International Consortium (CLIC) meta-analysis
Although findings only modestly support an association between maternal prenatal infections and CL, some infections might increase the risk more markedly in young White children compared with Hispanic/Latino children. Risk patterns across race and ethnicity, type, and timing of maternal prenatal infection merit further investigation, as do studies with documented exposure information.
