Our rapid and cost‐effective F0 CRISPR/Cas9‐based screening approach provides a comprehensive framework for the functional evaluation of candidate genes for their role in enteric nervous system (ENS) development and function. This screening approach identifies new potential regulator genes of ENS neurogenesis and provides important first insights into ...

A multiobjective deep learning approach for predictive classification in Neuroblastoma [PDF]
Neuroblastoma is a strongly heterogeneous cancer with very diverse clinical courses that may vary from spontaneous regression to fatal progression; an accurate patient's risk estimation at diagnosis is essential to design appropriate tumor treatment strategies.

BackgroundNeuroblastoma (NB) tumors are well known for their pronounced clinical and molecular heterogeneity. The global gene expression and DNA copy number alterations have been shown to have profound differences in tumors of low or high stage and those

A chemical screen identifies the chemotherapeutic drug topotecan as a specific inhibitor of the B-MYB/MYCN axis in neuroblastoma [PDF]
The transcription factor MycN is the prototypical neuroblastoma oncogene and a potential therapeutic target. However, its strong expression caused by gene amplification in about 30% of neuroblastoma patients is a considerable obstacle to the development ...

Purpose: Activating mutations of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) were recently described in neuroblastoma. We carried out a meta-analysis of 709 neuroblastoma tumors to determine their frequency and mutation spectrum in relation to genomic and ...

Neuroblastomas with chromosome 11q loss and single copy MYCN comprise a biologically distinct group of tumours with adverse prognosis [PDF]
Neuroblastoma is a heterogeneous tumour and its effective clinical management is dependent on accurate prognostic evaluation. In approximately 25% of patients amplification of the MYCN oncogene is known to be associated with a poor outcome.

Critical Role for GAB2 in Neuroblastoma Pathogenesis through the Promotion of SHP2/MYCN Cooperation
Growing evidence suggests a major role for Src-homology-2-domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2/PTPN11) in MYCN-driven high-risk neuroblastoma, although biologic confirmation and a plausible mechanism for this contribution are lacking.

High Genomic Instability Predicts Survival in Metastatic High-Risk Neuroblastoma
We aimed to identify novel molecular prognostic markers to better predict relapse risk estimate for children with high-risk (HR) metastatic neuroblastoma (NB). We performed genome- and/or transcriptome-wide analyses of 129 stage 4 HR NBs.
