A method of predicting the outcome of a patient with neuroblastoma that includes obtaining experimental data on gene selections. The gene selection functions to predict the outcome of a patient with neuroblastoma when the expression of that gene selection is compared to the identical selection from a non-neuroblastoma cell or a different type of neuroblastoma cell. The invention also includes a method of targeting at least one product of a gene that includes administration of a therapeutic agent. The invention also includes the use of a gene selection for predicting the outcome of patient with neuroblastoma.

Prediction of clinical outcome using gene expression profiling and artificial neural networks for patients with neuroblastoma

A microarray apparatus is provided which contains at least one chip having source and drain electrodes positioned on an array of carbon nanotube transistors which allows for electronic detection of nucleic acid hybridizations, thereby affording both increased sensitivity and the capability of miniaturization.
