Alternative lengthening of telomeres in childhood neuroblastoma from genome to proteome

Telomere maintenance by telomerase activation or alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) is a major determinant of poor outcome in neuroblastoma. Here, we screen for ALT in primary and relapsed neuroblastomas and characterize its features using multi-omics profiling. We aim to deepen the knowledge about the biology and clinical features of ALT-positive neuroblastomas by enriching ALT tumors in the study cohort independent of ATRX mutation status. Using a combination of genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic profiling, we provide evidence that this subgroup is clinically and molecularly distinct.
