Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The rarity of familial neuroblastoma (NB) has allowed only a few linkage studies, most of which did not show any evidence of linkage to regions involved in somatic alterations or to genes implicated in other neurocristopathies seldom associated with NB. We screened a highly informative family with recurrent NB by genome-wide linkage analysis aimed at identifying chromosomal regions for NB predisposing...
