Molecular assay reagents intended for use in identifying exchanges (i.e., translocations) between chromosome 1 band p36 and chromosome 13 band q14, usually involving the fusion of PAX7 and FKHR genes. This translocation is present in some patients with soft-tissue malignant tumors (e.g., alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma). Its detection may be used as a tumor marker.
