Abstract excerpt
Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is an aggressive pediatric soft tissue tumor with striated muscle differentiation. Chromosomal studies of these tumors identified 2;13 and 1;13 translocations. Using physical mapping and cloning strategies, we determined that t(2;13) and t(1;13) rearrange PAX3 and PAX7, which encode members of the paired box transcription factor family, and juxtapose these genes with FKHR, which...
