Deskripsi
While hepatoblastoma is the most common pediatric liver cancer, its molecular background has not been fully characterised. Here, the authors perform genomic and epigenomic profiling of 163 untreated pediatric liver tumours and suggest the upregulation of ASCL2 and methylation patterns of IGF2 promoters in driving hepatoblast carcinogenesis.
