Prediction of <i>MYCN</i> Amplification in Neuroblastoma Using Serum DNA and Real-Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction
28 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: MYCN amplification (MNA) indicates a poor prognosis in neuroblastoma (NB) and is routinely assayed for therapy stratification. We aimed to develop a diagnostic tool to predict MYCN status using serum DNA, which, in cancer patients, predominantly originates from tumor-released DNA. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Using DNA-based real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, we simultaneously quantified MYCN...
