Identification of New Gene Spliceosomes in Neuroblastoma

Sponsor: Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University

Summary

Neuroblastoma is an early childhood embryonic malignancy that originates from neural crest cells. Neuroblastoma shows high heterogeneity in biological, morphological, genetic, and clinical features. At present, the main treatment methods for neuroblastoma are surgical treatment combined with chemotherapy after the operation and immunological therapy. However， clinical studies have found that 40%～50% of patients don't have good outcomes after postoperative chemotherapy. The clinical trial study aims to screen the genotype of children with neuroblastoma and conduct an in-depth analysis of sequencing data and tumor-specific transcripts by using technologies--Deep Sequencing Technology and Third Generation Sequencing Technology. The main questions this study aims to answer are： \[Question 1\]This study will use Third Generation Sequencing technology to find specific transcript variants associated with cancer differentiation; \[Question 2\]This study will identify possible tissue differential expression by using the Deep Sequencing Technology. Participants will undergo surgery, during which doctors will remove tumor tissue and adjacent normal tissue. In this experiment, the tumor tissue of children with neuroblastoma will be used as the experimental group, and the adjacent normal tissue will be used as the control group. In this study， the different genotypes of children with neuroblastoma are screened by Deep Sequencing Technology and Third Generation Sequencing Technology. And according to the difference in genotypes， doctors will treat children with neuroblastoma personally. This study hopes to find new single nucleotide polymorphism and therapeutic targets.
