Neuroblastoma is a paediatric solid tumor characterized by recurrent genomic abnormalities of prognostic importance. One of the most commonly observed abnormalities is deletion of the short arm of chromosome 1 and reduced expression of cancer related genes in this chromosomal arm. The long isoform of the retinoblastoma protein-interacting zink finger gene (RIZI) is a known tumor suppressor and a candidate neuroblastoma gene located at 1p36.2. The present study was undertaken to further assess the possible involvement of RIZ in neuroblastoma development. Expression of RIZ transcripts were quantified in a panel of neuroblastoma cell lines and tumors (33 neuroblastomas and 3 ganglioneuromas). Methylation status of promoter PI driving RIZ1 expression was quantified by bisulfite Pyrosequencing. Only low mean levels of promoter methylation (
