There are disclosed a nucleic acid whose expression is enhanced in human
neuroblastoma with unfavorable prognosis based on comparison between
human neuroblastoma with favorable prognosis and human neuroblastoma with
unfavorable prognosis, the nucleic acid comprising any one of base
sequences set forth in SEQ ID NO:1 to NO:69 in the Sequence Listing, a
nucleic acid comprising a portion of any of those base sequences, and an
isolated nucleic acid capable of hybridizing to a complementary base
sequence of the foregoing under stringent conditions. It discloses gene
sequences relating to favorable or unfavorable prognosis of neuroblastoma
and will enable the provision of their genetic information and the
diagnosis of favorable or unfavorable prognosis.
