The five genes identified as candidate genes involved in neuroblastoma progression were: MYCN (neuroblastoma derived), NPW (neuropeptide W), SLC30A3 (solute carrier family 30, member 3), MYCNOS (neuroblastome derived opposite strand), and MYCN* (v-myc myelocytomatosis viral related oncogene). The gene discussed is MYCNOS; the disease is neuroblastoma.
