Abstract excerpt
In human neuroblastoma tumors, amplification of the N-myc proto-oncogene and loss of all or part of the short arm of chromosome #1 are both associated with a poor prognosis. Accruing evidence indicates that it is the absence of one allele of the HuD (ELAVL4) gene, encoding the neuronal-specific RNA-binding protein HuD and localized to 1p34, that is linked to amplification. In 12 human neuroblastoma cell lines,...
