Through a genomewide association study (GWAS) of sporadic neuroblastoma, we have reported common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with neuroblastoma susceptibility at CASC154, BARD15, LMO16, DUSP127, HSD17B127, DDX4/IL31RA7, HACE18 and LIN28B8 loci. This evidence concerns the gene DDX4 and neuroblastoma.
