Abstract excerpt
MYCN amplification and 1p36 deletion are adverse prognostic factors in neuroblastoma, and rapid accurate determination of MYCN amplification is essential for risk stratification. MYCN copy number and 1p36 deletion status were determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and real time PCR in a diagnostic pathology laboratory setting on 35 consecutive patients with neuroblastoma. The PCR technique was...
