The <i>PAX3-FKHR</i> Fusion Gene of Rhabdomyosarcoma Cooperates with Loss of p16INK4A to Promote Bypass of Cellular Senescence
15 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of childhood and adolescence. Despite advances in therapy, patients with a histologic variant of rhabdomyosarcoma known as alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) have a 5-year survival of <30%. ARMS is characterized by a chromosomal translocation generating the PAX3-FKHR fusion gene. However, ectopic expression of PAX3-FKHR often induces inhibition of cell...
