Evaluating the Genetic Overlap Between Congenital Heart Disease and Neuroblastoma Risk

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) have elevated neuroblastoma (NB) risk, potentially due to shared neural crest origins. We analyzed rare exonic de novo single‐nucleotide variants in 702 CHD and 454 NB trios from the Neuroblastoma Epidemiology in North America Study, Gabriella Miller Kids First Program, and a published cohort. Seven

RT‐PCR–Based Detection of Bone Marrow Involvement in Ewing Sarcoma: Diagnostic Validity and Prognostic Relevance

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In Ewing sarcoma (EwS), metastases, including those to bone marrow (BM), are the main factors influencing prognosis. Although reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) offers greater sensitivity, the current EWING protocol defines BM metastases solely using light microscopic detection.
