Aims: Defining reliable risk factors for progression and outcome in advanced stage neuroblastoma (NB) patients not harboring a MYCN amplification is still challenging. Methods: Expression profiles were generated from 113 primary NBs on Affymetrix microarrays. Genes associated with patient outcome but independent of known risk factors were identified using correlation analysis. Results: Expression of JARID1C was significantly elevated in primary NBs from patients who later suffered relapse, independent of MYCN amplification status. The JARID1C protein was detectable in all NB cell lines analyzed. Cell viability a…
