Neuroblastoma is an Inherited Disorder of the Sympathetic Nervous System

Question

Neuroblastoma is an inherited disorder of the sympathetic nervous system.

Accepted Answer

Neuroblastoma is not typically an inherited disorder. It is usually caused by genetic mutations that occur spontaneously within the developing neuroblasts (immature nerve cells) during fetal development. However, in rare cases, certain genetic mutations may be inherited and increase the risk of developing neuroblastoma.
