Reliable assessment of telomere maintenance mechanisms in neuroblastoma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Telomere maintenance mechanisms (TMM) are a hallmark of high-risk neuroblastoma, and are conferred by activation of telomerase or alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). However, detection of TMM is not yet part of the clinical routine, and consensus on TMM detection, especially on ALT assessment, remains to be achieved. METHODS: Whole genome sequencing (WGS) data of 68 primary neuroblastoma...
