ABSTRACT:
Methods of determining whether a tumor is an alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma tumor by detecting the presence of a DNA sequence of a chimeric gene that is generated by translocation of a portion of human chromosome 2 and a portion of human chromosome 13 are disclosed. In addition, diagnostic kits to practice methods of determining whether a tumor is an alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma tumor are disclosed. Isolated nucleic acid molecules which comprise nucleotide sequences that are complementary to at least a portion of human chromosome 2 or a portion of human chromosome 13 are disclosed.
