Hereditary NBl epi and mutations/syndromes
1-2% are familial
ALK
PHOX2B
Predispositions: Turner, NF1, BWS, LFS, Noonan
NBl genetics (top 3 and others) and px significance
MYCN amplification (>4-10 copies by FISH; 20%)
- strongest px factor

- del14q
- del11q
- gain 17q
DNA index
- near diploid/tetraploid is unfavourable
- hyperdiploid favourable
Others
