Abstract excerpt
Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue tumor seen in children and young adults, and it can be classified into 2 major histological subtypes, alveolar and embryonal. In the alveolar subtype, 2 recurrent chromosomal translocations, t(2;13)(q35;q14) and its variant t(1;13)(p36;q14), have been identified as the specific cytogenetic abnormalities. These translocations produce the PAX3-FOXO1 and PAX7-FOXO1...
