Consistently, mining of publicly available microarray datasets (GSE14340 and GSE16476) revealed that ARMC12 was overexpressed in NB tissues, when compared to that in NC (P < 0.0001, unpaired t test), and highly expressed in NB tissues with death (P = 0.0036, unpaired t test), progression (P = 0.0316, unpaired t test), or advanced INSS stages (P = 0.0032, unpaired t test, Fig. 1d and Supplementary Table 1). This evidence concerns the gene ARMC12 and neuroblastoma.
