GALNT13 and neuroblastoma: Berois et al. (2006) found that GALNT13 was the most highly expressed gene indicated by microarray gene expression analysis performed using a metastatic xenograft-derived cell model of human neuroblastoma, with a 12-fold upregulation in metastatic malignant neuroblasts compared to the primary cancer xenograft, suggesting that the GALNT13 expression level could be potentially used to detect malignant neuroblasts at diagnosis or recurrence.
