Blood will be collected and placed in a 4ml tube without anticoagulants. The tube will be centrifuged and the blood's serum will be isolated in order to examine the biochemical parameters of the study with the cooperation of the Biochemistry Lab of University Hospital AHEPA. Furthermore, 2ml of whole blood will be collected in a tube containing Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as the anticoagulant for use in molecular techniques. The whole blood and the serum will be stored in a temperature of -80 degree Celsius.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Children that meet all the inclusion criteria for this study will be examined and undergo treatment with asparaginase (Experimental group) and will be compared to the corresponding teams of healthy children and children that have ailed and are off chemotherapy for at least 6 months (Control group).

Correlation of Polymorphisms of Lipoprotein Lipase (LpL) and Apolipoprotein E (Apo E) With Lipid Profile of Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Eukaemia During Therapy With L - Asparaginase.

The genotypes of children with ALL will be recorded and it might constitute an early indicative factor concerning the treatment's outcome. Thusly, essential information will be extracted about the possible contribution of genotype of children under treatment with L-ASP to the lipid disorder as shown in the lab results, to better monitoring of each unique phase of the therapy for clinical occurrences and complication and to faster therapeutic intervention.

During the disease's diagnosis, the lipid profile of the patients' will be determined by measuring the changes of the following parameters compared to the baseline measures: cholesterol (mg/dl), triglycerides(mg/dl), HDL-cholesterol(mg/dl), LDL-cholesterol(mg/dl), apolipoprotein A1(mg/dl), apolipoprotein B100(g/L), lipoprotein α [Lp(α)](nmol/l), glucose (mg/dl), SGOT (U/I), SGPT (U/I), TSH (mU/l) FT4 (pmol/l) amylase (U/I) and lipase (U/I).
