Identification of a PAX-FKHR Gene Expression Signature that Defines Molecular Classes and Determines the Prognosis of Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcomas
15 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
Alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas (ARMS) are aggressive soft-tissue sarcomas affecting children and young adults. Most ARMS tumors express the PAX3-FKHR or PAX7-FKHR (PAX-FKHR) fusion genes resulting from the t(2;13) or t(1;13) chromosomal translocations, respectively. However, up to 25% of ARMS tumors are fusion negative, making it unclear whether ARMS represent a single disease or multiple clinical and biological...
