Study Description from dbGaP: "To further explore some more aggressive subtypes in pediatric cancer already under study in OCG, CGCI is partnering with TARGET initiative to support extensive sequencing analysis of three hard to treat childhood cancers: refractory to treatment cases of acute myeloid leukemia and two rare kidney tumors; clear cell sarcoma of the kidney and rhabdoid tumor (RT). Rhabdoid...

Study Description from dbGaP: "In this study, we sequenced the exomes of 35 rhabdoid tumors, highly aggressive cancers of early childhood. This study is part of a larger effort to characterize pediatric cancers as part of the Slim Initiative for Genomic Medicine (SIGMA) project."

Summary from the GEO: "We report that the protein encoded by the SMARCB1 gene, SNF5, is capable of inhibiting MYC binding in vitro and in a malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) cell line. By comparing the effects of reintroduction of SNF5 with genetic inhibition of MYC (OMOMYC) on multiple aspects of chromatin remodeling and transcription in MRT cells, we show that regulation of MYC binding by SNF5 is not...
