To refine the list of genes that define this identity [9], we combined and re-analysed microarray-based tumour transcriptomes obtained from 99 PAX3-FOXO1 and 34 PAX7-FOXO1 positive FP-RMS patients and 59 patients affected by other RMS subtypes (Fig 2A, S1–S3 Tables, S1A Fig) [42–46]. Here, PAX3 is linked to neoplasm.
