Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia epidemiology and demographics

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

JMML accounts for 1-2% of childhood leukemias each year; in the United States, an estimated 25-50 new cases are diagnosed each year, which also equates to about 3 cases per million children. There is no known environmental cause for JMML. Since about 10% of patients are diagnosed before 3 months of age, it is thought that JMML is a congenital condition in these infants.
