## Abstract Rhabdomyosarcoma is a family of myogenic soft tissue tumors subdivided into two main subtypes: alveolar (ARMS) and embryonal (ERMS). ARMS is characterized by a frequent 2;13 chromosomal translocation that creates a PAX3‐FKHR fusion transcription factor. To identify downstream targets of
## Abstract ## Background Most alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas (ARMS) have chromosome translocations and resultant gene fusion products. The more common translocation fuses the PAX3 and FKHR genes; patients who have PAX3‐FKHR‐positive ARMS have reduced event‐free survival compared to patients with ARMS
