Chromosomal and microRNA expression patterns reveal biologically distinct subgroups of 11q- neuroblastoma.

TL;DR: A miRNA expression signature, combined with an analysis of segmental imbalances, provides greater prediction of event-free survival and overall survival outcomes than 11q status by itself, improving patient stratification.
Journal Article

A mechanistic classification of clinical phenotypes in neuroblastoma

TL;DR: Ackermann et al. as mentioned in this paper performed genome sequencing on 416 pretreatment neuroblastomas and assessed telomere maintenance mechanisms in 208 of these tumors, and found that patients with tumors that lacked telomeres maintenance mechanisms had an excellent prognosis, whereas the prognosis of patients whose tumors harbored a worse prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Closing the circle: current state and perspectives of circular RNA databases.

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the current circRNA databases and their content, features, and usability is presented and important suggestions to streamline further research in this growing field are presented.
