Neuroblastomas represent a spectrum of diseases categorized by histological subtypes, age of the patient, and extent of tumor (stage) at diagnosis. In this study we analyzed Ha-ras p21 (protein with molecular weight of 21,000) expression immunohistochemically on 47 primary human neuroblastomas resected at diagnosis. The data demonstrate that the amount of the Ha-ras product correlates with a favorable prognosis (P less than 0.001) and early stages of disease at diagnosis (P less than 0.05). These findings from unmanipulated human neuroblastomas indicate that the Ha-ras gene product (p21) might play a role in the mechanism(s) controlling aggressiveness in this type of tumor in vivo and that the Ha-ras p21 detected by a simple and reproducible immunohistochemical procedure may be of clinical importance in predicting prognosis in patients with this malignancy.

D009447 Neuroblastoma A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.

D011905 Genes, ras Family of retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (ras) originally isolated from Harvey (H-ras, Ha-ras, rasH) and Kirsten (K-ras, Ki-ras, rasK) murine sarcoma viruses. Ras genes are widely conserved among animal species and sequences corresponding to both H-ras and K-ras genes have been detected in human, avian, murine, and non-vertebrate genomes. The closely related N-ras gene has been detected in human neuroblastoma and sarcoma cell lines. All genes of the family have a similar exon-intron structure and each encodes a p21 protein.
