Genomic Characterization of a Metastatic Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma Case Using FISH Studies and CGH+SNP Microarray Revealing FOXO1-PAX7 Rearrangement with MYCN and MDM2 Amplification and RB1 Region Loss.

Abstract excerpt

Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are rare, heterogeneous, soft tissue sarcomas and a common type of childhood malignancy with a distinct histomorphology. At the molecular level, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS), a subtype of RMS, harbors a signature genetic makeup characterized by specific translocations. The type of translocation and associated genetic aberrations correlate with disease progression, hence we used...
