N-myc Amplification

Lab Test
Test N-myc Amplification
Indication In Neuroblastomas, N-myc amplification is associated with poor prognosis and rapid tumor progression
Physiology Neuroblastoma was the first human tumor in which an increased number of copies of a specific oncogene (N-myc) correlated with progression of disease. Patients with amplification of the N-myc oncogene has a worse prognosis than patients whose tumors have a single copy of N-myc gene.
Normal Range Increased copy number of N-myc in neuroblastoma is predictive of poor prognosis. Thus the determination of N-myc copy number provides information that has prognostic significance.
Sample Laboratory generally provides an interpretive report.
Test Method Hybridization technique
Related Tests Tissue from neuroblastoma
