We investigated the relevance of PRMT5 and E2F1 in neuroblastoma (NB) and found that elevated expression of PRMT5 and E2F1 occurs in poor prognosis high‐risk disease and correlates with an amplified Myelocytomatosis viral‐related oncogene, neuroblastoma‐derived (MYCN) gene. Here, MYCN is linked to neuroblastoma.
