Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial DNA content in embryo culture medium is significantly associated with human embryo fragmentation

TL;DR: The correlation between a high mtDNA concentration and the fragmentation rate of embryos is suggestive that fragments are mainly anuclear cytoplasmatic debris arising during cleavage, which may play a homeostatic role and be related to embryo competence.
Journal ArticleDOI

MYCN oncogene amplification in neuroblastoma is associated with worse prognosis, except in stage 4s: the Italian experience with 295 children.

TL;DR: MyCN amplification is associated with a worse prognosis in children with neuroblastoma at all ages and stages except 4s, and this association is most pronounced inChildren with otherwise favorable prognostic indicators, and in these children should be considered as an indication for more intensive intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcribed-Ultra Conserved Region expression is associated with outcome in high-risk neuroblastoma.

TL;DR: A deregulation of the microRNA/T-UCR network may play an important role in the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma, and findings may be applied as the first T-U CR prognostic signature for high-risk neuroblastomas patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
