The most common childhood malignancy, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in children because of resistant cases in which underlying predisposing factors are poorly understood. The interindividual variation in the activity of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes that modify individual somatic mutation burden in the context of environmental exposure was shown to modify susceptibility to childhood ALL. Variable DNA repair capacity may further modulate induced DNA lesions. Similarly, differential capacity of ALL patients to process carcinogens and chemotherapeutic drugs could both modify an individual's risk of recurrent malignancy and response to therapy.
