- Interpretation
This test detects amplification of the MYCN gene, which is a prognostic biomarker in neuroblastoma.
It helps predict the aggressiveness of neuroblastoma and guides risk stratification and treatment planning.
Tumor tissue or bone marrow is examined using FISH or PCR to detect MYCN gene copy number.
MYCN amplification indicates a high-risk form of neuroblastoma that may require intensive treatment.
Tissue samples must be appropriately collected and preserved. No specific preparation from the patient is needed.
