Involvement of the Wnt signal transduction pathway has been shown in different pediatric embryonal tumors, such as hepatoblastoma, nephroblastoma, pancreatoblastoma, and medulloblastoma There are few data available on the status of beta-catenin in rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), another pediatric embryonal tumor. The nuns of this study were 1st to verify the status of the exon 3 of CTNNB1 and 2nd to assess the usefulness of beta-catenin immunostaining in a small series of 8 embryonal RMS, 3 alveolar RMS, and I sclerosing RMS (SRMS). Sequence analysis revealed no mutations in the exon 3 of CTNNB1 in all the. tumors studied. All RMS showed a cytoplasmic beta-catenin staining with cytoplasmic membrane reinforcement and no nuclear delocalization We conclude that there is no evidence of beta-catenin mutation in the genesis of rhabdomyosarcoma and that beta-catenin does not represent a useful immunomarker to help distinguish between embryonal RMS and alveolar RMS.
