Gain of chromosome arm 17q has recently been reported in neuroblastoma tumours. We analysed 17q status in relation to other known prognostic features and clinical outcome in a series of 45 tumours. Chromosome 17 status was detected by cytogenetic analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH) and correlated with other clinical and genetic factors. Survival analysis was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier estimation. Twenty-eight out of 45 tumours showed 17q gain, and this was associated with established indicators of poor prognosis; stage 4 disease (P
