Abstract:
:We studied chromosome 1p loss of heterozygosity (1p-LOH) in 53 neuroblastomas (NBs) using 15 (CA)n repeat loci, which covered a region of 90 cM. We also assessed chromosome 1p36 deletion by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on interphase nuclei. 1p-LOH was found in 19 (36%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 23-50%) NBs. We detected interstitial and large deletion in both localized and disseminated tumours and in one tumour of a patient at stage 4S. Allelic loss was frequently observed in 1p36 and 1p32 regions. In patients older than 1 year of age (53 versus 13%, P < 0.002) we detected significant chromosome 1p deletion and it was associated with MYCN amplification (P = 0.001). Overall survival (OS) analysis showed that 1p-LOH is predictive of a poor outcome (odds ratio 16.5, 95% CI 5.4-50.9%); therefore, 1p-LOH should be regarded as an additional tumour progression marker in neuroblastoma.

CANCER LETTERS文献大全abstract::Very few studies have been reported the function of wild type IDH1 in tumor progress. Previously, we reported that IDH1 correlated with pathological grade and metastatic potential inversely in human osteosarcoma. Here, IDH1 was found lower expressed in osteosarcoma tissues than that of adjacent normal bone tissues. In...
