Most neuroblastoma cells have genetic abnormalities involving chromosome #1, where a deletion or rearrangement is found on the short arm of this chromosome. The chromosome abnormality, in turn, causes amplification of an oncogene called MYC...

The only risk factor that has been established for neuroblastoma is heredity. Recent research indicates that a common genetic variation of the gene 6p22 on chromosome 6 doubles the risk of this disease. Also, having this particular variatio...

It isn't clear what causes the initial genetic mutation that leads to neuroblastoma. However, because neuroblastoma usually affects very young children, researchers believe the mutation occurs during pregnancy, or possibly even before conception.
