Variable expression and absence of mutations in p73 in primary neuroblastoma tumors argues against a role in neuroblastoma development.

Abstract excerpt

In neuroblastoma, a childhood tumor of neural crest, a tumor suppressor gene located at 1p36 has been implicated to play a major role in tumor aggressiveness and clinical prognosis. We have examined 30 different staged primary neuroblastoma tumors using RT-PCR, for expression of the p73 gene located at 1p36.3, and its correlation to other clinical and biological features of these tumors. No correlation between...
