Clustering of Gene Hypermethylation Associated With Clinical Risk Groups in Neuroblastoma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid malignancy in infancy and childhood, but the biological factors involved in its development and progression are still unclear. Transcriptional silencing of tumor suppressor genes mediated by hypermethylation of promoter CpG islands is a hallmark of human tumors. We addressed the clinical relevance of promoter hypermethylation in neuroblastoma....
