Paraffin-based sequencing of the human kinome in pediatric ATRT
This project will study the molecular pathways that drive AT/RT (atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor) formation and growth. Gene expression array analysis will be performed on a large series (up to 200 samples) of AT/ RT and compared using a number of exploratory analyses. Whole genome mutational analysis in AT/RT has not been previously studied and identification of specific mutations will provide important information on focusing further efforts on specific pathways.
