Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma 		0.010 Biomarker disease BEFREE While NELL1 was found to be hypomethylated and transcriptionally enhanced in RMS alveolar subtypes, high NELL1 expression levels, which proved to be correlated with negative RMS prognostic factors such as fusion status and histology (P < 0.0001), were found to discriminate between RMS patients with different outcomes (P < 0.05).In conclusion, our results demonstrated that different DNA methylation patterns distinguish between different RMS subgroups and they suggest that epigenetic signatures could be useful for risk stratification of patients. 28380437 2017
