Abstract excerpt
Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is associated with chromosomal translocations that generate PAX3-FKHR and PAX7-FKHR fusion oncoproteins. Based on studies demonstrating that high PAX3-FKHR expression causes growth suppression, the hypothesis is proposed that, during ARMS tumorigenesis, the translocations cause low oncoprotein expression and are followed by collaborating events that block growth suppression...
