Abstract
Liver tumors are rare in children and represent only 1 - 4% of all pediatric solid tumors. While in adults hepatocellular carcinoma is prevalent, the most common liver cancer in children is hepatoblastoma. Based on very early age and histological feature that recapitulates stages of liver organogenesis, hepatoblastomas are considered embryonal tumors. Because of its rarity, the molecular …

Abstract
Hepatoblastoma is the most common liver cancer in childhood. These hepatic embryonal tumors exhibit the lowest mutational burden among pediatric tumors, raising the question if epigenetic changes could be relevant players in their tumorigenesis. We previously disclosed a pattern of low-level hypomethylation in non-repetitive sequences of hepatoblastomas in comparison to control liver tiss…
