Genomic Amplifications and Distal 6q Loss: Novel Markers for Poor Survival in High-risk Neuroblastoma Patients.

2018

Abstract Background Neuroblastoma is characterized by substantial clinical heterogeneity. Despite intensive treatment, the survival rates of high-risk neuroblastoma patients are still disappointingly low. Somatic chromosomal copy number aberrations have been shown to be associated with patient outcome, particularly in low- and intermediate-risk neuroblastoma patients. To improve outcome prediction in high-risk neuroblastoma, we aimed to design a prognostic classification method based on copy number aberrations. Methods In an international collaboration, normalized high-resolution DNA copy number data (arrayCGH and SNP arrays) from 556 high-risk neuroblastomas obtained at diagnosis were coll…

High frequency of subclonal ALK mutations in high risk neuroblastoma patients. A SIOPEN study

2015

Introduction: In neuroblastoma (NB), activating ALK receptor tyrosine kinase point mutations are detected in 8–10% at diagnosis using conventional sequencing. To determine the potential occurrence and the prognostic impact of ALK mutations in a series of high risk NB patients we studied ALK variation frequencies using targeted deep sequencing in samples of patients enrolled in the SIOPEN HR-NBL01 study
