Functional MYCN signature predicts outcome of neuroblastoma irrespective of MYCN amplification [PDF]
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor of the sympathetic nervous system. MYCN (V-myc myelocytomatosis viral-related oncogene, neuroblastoma derived [avian]) is amplified in 20% of neuroblastomas, and these tumors carry a poor prognosis. However, tumors without MYCN

Radiogenomics prediction for MYCN amplification in Neuroblastoma: a hypothesis generating study [PDF]
Background: MYCN amplification represents a powerful prognostic factor in neuroblastoma (NB) and may occasionally account for intratumoral heterogeneity. Radiomics is an emerging field of advanced image analysis that aims to extract a large number of quantitative features from standard radiological images, providing valuable clinical information ...

Background MYCN gene amplification is related to risk stratification. Therefore it is important to identify accurately the level of the MYCN gene as early as possible in neuroblastoma (NB); however, for patients with bone marrow (BM) metastasis who need ...

Neuroblastoma derived from primitive sympathetic neural precursors is a common type of solid tumor in infants. MYCN proto‑oncogene bHLH transcription factor (MYCN) amplification and 1p36 deletion are important factors associated with the poor prognosis of neuroblastoma.

Enhancer invasion shapes MYCN-dependent transcriptional amplification in neuroblastoma [PDF]
Amplification of the locus encoding the oncogenic transcription factor MYCN is a defining feature of high-risk neuroblastoma. Here we present the first dynamic chromatin and transcriptional landscape of MYCN perturbation in neuroblastoma. At oncogenic levels, MYCN associates with E-box binding motifs in an affinity-dependent manner, binding to strong ...

High level MYCN amplification and distinct methylation signature define an aggressive subtype of spinal cord ependymoma [PDF]
We report a novel group of clinically aggressive spinal cord ependymomas characterized by Grade III histology, MYCN amplification, an absence of NF2 alterations or other recurrent pathogenic mutations, and a unique methylation classifier profile.

Background Amplification of the MYCN gene in neuroblastoma (NB) is associated with a poor prognosis. However, MYCN-amplification does not automatically result in higher expression of MYCN in children with NB.

Radiomics-Based Machine Learning for Determining Amplification Status in Childhood Neuroblastoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]
Introduction The MYCN oncogene promotes tumor cell proliferation in neuroblastoma, and its amplification is a well-established marker of poor prognosis. Radiomics-based approaches have shown promise in noninvasively determining MYCN amplification status;

Heterogeneous MYCN amplification in neuroblastoma: a SIOP Europe Neuroblastoma Study. [PDF]
In neuroblastoma (NB), the most powerful prognostic marker, the MYCN amplification (MNA), occasionally shows intratumoural heterogeneity (ITH), i.e. coexistence of MYCN-amplified and non-MYCN-amplified tumour cell clones, called heterogeneous MNA (hetMNA).
