High-Level MYCN-Amplified RB1-Proficient Retinoblastoma Tumors Retain Distinct Molecular Signatures
20 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Purpose Retinoblastomas are malignant eye tumors diagnosed in young children. Most retinoblastomas are genetically characterized by biallelic inactivation of the RB1 gene. However, 1.5% of tumors demonstrate high-level amplification of the proto-oncogene MYCN . Patients with MYCN -amplified RB1 -proficient retinoblastoma receive a diagnosis at an earlier age and show a clinically and histologically more malignant...
