Beta-Catenin Mutation Does Not Seem to Have an Effect on the Tumorigenesis of Pediatric Rhabdomyosarcomas
Bibliographic record
Abstract
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 aims 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 1 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.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
