BACKGROUND Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer with considerable morbidity and mortality. Tumor-derived biomarkers may improve risk stratification.METHODS We screened 915 samples of neuroblastoma for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosome bands 1p36 and 11q23. Additional analyses identified a subgroup of cases of 11q23 LOH with unbalanced 11q LOH (unb11q LOH; defined as loss of 11q with retention of 11p). The associations of LOH with relapse and survival were determined.RESULTS LOH at 1p36 was identified in 209 of 898 tumors (23 percent) and LOH at 11q23 in 307 of 913 (34 percent). Unb11q LOH was found in 151 of 307 tumors with 11q23 LOH (17 percent of the total cohort). There was a strong association of 1p36 LOH, 11q23 LOH, and unb11q LOH with most high-risk disease features (P
