Spinal Cord Ependymomas With MYCN Amplification Show Aggressive Clinical Behavior [PDF]
Adult spinal cord ependymomas are typically low grade and have a relatively favorable clinical course following gross total resection. We report 4 cases of anaplastic spinal cord ependymoma with MYCN amplification, an exceptionally rare finding.

Detection of MYCN Amplification in Serum DNA Using Conventional Polymerase Chain Reaction. [PDF]
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extra-cranial solid tumor of childhood and is characterized by a wide range of clinical behaviors. Amplification of MYCN is a well-known poor prognostic factor in NB patients.

MYCN Amplification Is Associated with Reduced Expression of Genes Encoding γ-Secretase Complex and NOTCH Signaling Components in Neuroblastoma. [PDF]
Amplification of the MYCN oncogene is found in ~20% of neuroblastoma (NB) cases and correlates with high-risk disease and poor prognosis. Despite the plethora of studies describing the role of MYCN in NB, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying MYCN’s ...

Extracellular Vesicle-Based Method for Detecting MYCN Amplification Status of Pediatric Neuroblastoma. [PDF]
Simple Summary MYCN gene amplification, the strongest prognostic marker of aggressive neuroblastoma, is detected on invasive biopsy tissues. This study aimed to establish a less invasive method to detect MYCN status based on MYCN mRNA contents in large ...

Lipid Metabolic Reprogramming in Embryonal Neoplasms with MYCN Amplification. [PDF]
Tumor cells reprogram their metabolism, including glucose, glutamine, nucleotide, lipid, and amino acids to meet their enhanced energy demands, redox balance, and requirement of biosynthetic substrates for uncontrolled cell proliferation. Altered lipid metabolism in cancer provides lipids for rapid membrane biogenesis, generates the energy required for
