Abstract
A method for diagnosing clinically distinct embryonal and alveolar subtypes of rhabdomyosarcoma, including contacting a reagent including an antibody that specifically binds myogenin with a sample that includes at least one rhabdomyosarcoma cell or at least one extract of at least one rhabdomyosarcoma cell, detecting the binding of the antibody to the sample to determine the presence, absence, or amount of myogenin in the sample, and diagnosing clinically distinct embryonal and alveolar subtypes of rhabdomyosarcoma, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma having an increased amount of binding as compared to embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma.
