Overview

NCI Definition: An aggressive malignant embryonal neoplasm usually occurring during childhood. It is characterized by the presence of large cells with abundant cytoplasm, large eccentric nucleus, and a prominent nucleolus and it is associated with abnormalities of chromosome 22. It can arise from the central nervous system, kidney, and the soft tissues. The prognosis is poor. [1]

Rhabdoid tumors most frequently harbor alterations in SMARCB1, SYNE1, ZNF217, WHSC1L1, and WHSC1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Rhabdoid Tumor

SMARCB1 Loss, SMARCB1 Mutation, SMARCB1fs, SMARCB1 R201*, and ZNF217 T198M are the most common alterations in rhabdoid tumor [2].
