Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (eRMS) is the most common childhood soft tissue sarcoma which stems from muscle tissue; the importance and function of FoxO1 fusion genes in eRMS is currently not clear. We regenerated the novel fusion gene from sequencing results from patient tumor tissue using PCR sewing to expand the current knowledge of the role of FoxO1.
