Archaeology - Gene Location That Gives Rise To Neuroblastoma, An Aggressive Childhood Cancer, Identified
5/8/2008 12:00:00 AM
Using advanced gene-hunting technology, researchers have identified a chromosome region that is the source of genetic events that give rise to neuroblastoma, an often fatal childhood cancer. The investigators found that common DNA variations in a region of chromosome 6 raise the risk that a child will develop a particularly aggressive form of neuroblastoma.
