Abstract excerpt
Somatic and germline mutations of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene were recently described in neuroblastoma (NB). In this study, we investigated the association of ALK copy number alterations with copy number status 2p24.1 amplicon harboring DEAD box polypeptide 1 (DDX1), MYCN and neuroblastoma-amplified (NAG) genes in 90 primary tumors of sporadic NB cases by multiplex ligation-dependent probe...
