Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MYCN oncogene amplification occurs in 20-25% of neuroblastoma and is associated with a poor prognosis. We previously reported that MYCN amplified (MNA) p53 wild-type neuroblastoma cell lines failed to G1 arrest in response to irradiation, but this could not be attributed to MYCN alone. HYPOTHESIS: Genes co-amplified with MYCN and/or the predominant cell type, neuronal (N) or substrate adherent (S)...
