An increased NM23H1 copy number may be a poor prognostic factor independent of LOH on 1p in neuroblastomas
In a study of 154 neuroblastomas, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was observed on 1p (13%, 19/143), 11q (19%, 11/59), 14q (15%, 15/97), 17p (5%, 5/105) and 17q (17%, 9/52). We also found an increase in NM23H1 cop...
