Abstract excerpt
Amplification of the MYCN gene and high telomerase activity predict a poor prognosis for the patients with neuroblastoma. We used PCR techniques for rapid detection of MYCN gene amplification and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression in neuroblastoma specimens. The detection of MYCN gene amplification is based on differential PCR in which three primer pairs were used to coamplify a 178-bp...
