The leucocytes produced in the bone marrow fight against the diseases and infections. Leukemia may be influenced by genetic as well as environmental factors. The genetic factors of Leukemia are somatic alteration in DNA which triggers oncogenes or degenerate cancer suppressor genes disrupting the regulation of cell differentiation, death, or division. These somatic mutations in DNA may happen spontaneously or due to exposure to carcinogenic substances or radiation and are probably influenced by the genetic factors. Revelation to petrochemicals including benzene, hair dyes, certain Viruses like HIV, conscientious for AIDS or human T-lymphotropic virus and adult T-cell leukemia or lymphoma as well as Fanconi anemia are some other causal factors of leukemia.
