TLDR
In this article, the authors examined the results of previous wire code research to determine the relationship with childhood cancer, wire codes and electromagnetic fields, and suggested that biases toward producing a false positive association between high wire code and childhood cancer were created by the selection procedure.Abstract:
This paper examines the results of previous wire code research to determines the relationship with childhood cancer, wire codes and electromagnetic fields. The paper suggests that, in the original Savitz study, biases toward producing a false positive association between high wire codes and childhood cancer were created by the selection procedure.read more

TL;DR: The results do not support a causal link between residential proximity to electrical high‐voltage wires and childhood leukemia risk, but in themselves do not refute a weak empirical association.
Exposure to residential electric and magnetic fields and risk of childhood leukemia. Final report
TL;DR: The results support an association between childhood leukemia risk and wiring configuration, but not direct measurements of electric and magnetic fields.

Evaluation of Continuous Exposure to Magnetic Field From AC Overhead Transmission Lines Via Historical Load Databases: Common Procedures and Innovative Heuristic Formulas
TL;DR: In this article, the authors recall the fundamentals of power line magnetic field calculation and show that a proper use of historical load databases is essential for associating residential magnetic fields with load diagrams of the lines.

Electrical wiring configurations and childhood cancer
Nancy Wertheimer,Ed Leeper +1 more
TL;DR: An excess of electrical wiring configurations suggestive of high current-flow was noted in Colorado in 1976--1977 near the homes of children who developed cancer, as compared to the homesof control children.

Case-control study of childhood cancer and exposure to 60-hz magnetic fields
TL;DR: The results encourage further examination of the carcinogenic potential from this form of nonionizing radiation, and are nonresponse, differential mobility of cases and controls, and a presumably nondifferential exposure misclassification from the use of imperfect surrogates for long-term magnetic field exposure history.

TL;DR: The relation between exposure to electric and magnetic fields in the home, as assessed by measurements, wiring configuration, and self-reported appliance use, and risk of leukemia was investigated in a case-control study among children from birth to age 10 years in Los Angeles County, California as discussed by the authors.

Electrical wiring configurations and childhood leukemia in rhode island
TL;DR: The study of the relationship between childhood leukemia and electric power line configurations in the greater Denver, Colorado, area by Wertheimer and Leeper was repeated in Rhode Island, focusing on leukemia, and no relationship was found.
