Fusions Involving PAX and FOX Genes in the Molecular Pathogenesis of Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma: Recent Advances
1 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most frequent soft tissue sarcoma in the pediatric population. Two main histopathologic variants have been described, embryonal (ERMS) and alveolar (ARMS), which demonstrate clinical and genetic differences. In particular, most ARMS but not ERMS tumors are characterized by the presence of recurrent chromosomal translocations, which have been cytogenetically defined as t(2;13)(q35;q14) and...
