Single-cell transcriptome sequencing reveals tumor heterogeneity in family neuroblastoma.

ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma(NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood, and it is now believed that some patients with NB have an underlying genetic susceptibility, which may be one of the reasons for the multiplicity of NB patients within a family line. Even within the same family, the samples show great variation and can present as ganglioneuroblastoma or even benign ganglioneuroma. The genomics of NB is still unclear and more in-depth studies are needed to reveal its key components. We first performed single-cell RNA sequencing(sc-RNAseq) analysis on clinical specimens of two family neuroblastoma(FNB) and four sporadic NB cases. A complete transcriptional profile of FNB was constructed from 18,394 cells from FNB, and we found that SDHD may be genetically associated with FNB a
