Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: CpG island (CGI) methylator phenotype (CIMP) is strongly associated with poor prognosis in neuroblastomas (NBLs; hazard ratios 7-22). Methylation of nonpromoter CGIs is useful to detect the presence of the CIMP, while the poor prognosis is considered to be caused by gene silencin...
