Increase of neutrophil alkaline phosphatase in the mothers of leukemic children.
A comparative study of the polymorphonuclear neutrophiles of 62 parents of children suffering from acute leukemia and of 110 couples with normal children revealed a marked increased of Neutrophil Alkaline Phosphatase (p less than 0.05) in the mothers of the leukemic children. The other parameters (periodic acid Schiff and myeloperoxidase) were unchanged.
