Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Genetic analysis in neuroblastoma has identified the profound influence of MYCN amplification and 11q deletion in patients' prognosis. These two features of high-risk neuroblastoma usually occur as mutually exclusive genetic markers, although in rare cases both are present in the same tumor. The purpose of this study was to characterize the genetic profile of these uncommon neuroblastomas...
