Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Neuroblastoma (NB) is a complex disease, and the current understanding of NB biology is limited. Deregulation in genomic imprinting is a common event in malignancy. Since imprinted genes play crucial roles in early fetal growth and development, their role in NB pathogenesis could be suggested. METHODS: We examined alterations in DNA methylation patterns of 369 NB tumours at 49 imprinted differentially...
