Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting plays a role in influencing the parental origin of genes involved in cancer-specific rearrangements. We have analysed 22 neuroblastomas with N-myc amplification to determine the parental origin of the amplified N-myc allele and the allele that is deleted from chromosome 1p. We analysed DNA from neuroblastoma patients and their parents, using four polymorphisms for 1p and three for the N-myc...
