Tissue

Formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue block

المعلومات السريرية:

• Myogenin is a member of a family of myogenic regulatory proteins which includes MyoD, myf5 and MRF4
• There genes encode transcription factors essential for muscle development
• Expression of Myogenin is restricted to cells of skeletal muscle origin
• Nuclear expression of myogenin is inversely related to the degree of cellular differentiation of rhabdomyosarcoma tumor cells

 

Useful for:  

• Myogenin has been detected in the majority of routinely processed rhabdomyosarcomas and Wilms tumors
• Myogenin is useful in a panel of immunostains (or frozen and/or paraffin sections) to evaluate small blue round cell tumors and poorly differentiated sarcomas
• No immunoreactivity has been observed in Ewing's sarcoma/pPNET or in neuroblastomas
• Myogenin will stain the nuclei of myoblasts from human fetal limbs, however no reactivity is observed in adult skeletal muscle
• Myogenin has not stained leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, alveolar soft part sarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, synovial sarcoma and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor in the small number of reported cases
