Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A neuroblastic tumor characterized by the presence of neuroblastic cells, the absence of ganglion cells, and the absence of a prominent Schwannian stroma formation. [1]

Neuroblastomas most frequently harbor alterations in MYCN, ALK, ATRX, CD79B, and SOX9 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Neuroblastoma

MYCN Amplification, ALK Mutation, ALK Missense, ATRX Mutation, and ALK Codon 1174 Missense are the most common alterations in neuroblastoma [2].
