NCIt related terms : Fusion Gene Positive Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma;
NCIt definition : An alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma characterized by the presence of chromosomal translocation
t(1;13)(p36;q14) that results in PAX7-FOXO1 gene fusion; or translocation t(2;13)(q35;q14)
that results in PAX3-FOXO1 gene fusion. Approximately 80% of alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas
are fusion-positive.;
Alternative definition : NICHD: A subtype of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma associated with translocations between
the FOXO1 gene on chromosome 13, and either the PAX3 gene on chromosome 2 (t(2;13)(q35;q14))
or the PAX7 gene on chromosome 1 (t(1:13)(p36;q14)).;
