Excerpt

Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial tumor among children with an average age of 17 months. NB is a tumor of the autonomic nervous system originating from embryonic neural crest cells [1] in which the pathogenesis of this malignancy is characterized by a block of differentiation [2, 3]. Many factors converge in this heterogeneous disease, including age, disease stage, and genetic and molecular features that, in turn, influence whether NB will spontaneously regress or metastasize and become resistant to therapy [4, 5]. Among the genetic alterations described in NB, MYCN amplification is the most common genetic dysfunction and is also associated with poor outcome. Moreover, mutations affecting both the α-thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX) gene [6] or anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase (ALK) [7] are also common in NB. …
