The Rhabdoid Tumor Predisposition Syndrome panel is designed to identify germline mutations responsible for this early-onset genetic disorder, characterized by an increased susceptibility to developing aggressive tumors such as rhabdoid tumor of the brain (AT/RT), rhabdoid renal tumors, and other soft tissue sarcomas during childhood. Most cases are due to alterations in the SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 genes, both components of the SWI/SNF complex, which is involved in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression and cell cycle control. Mutations in these genes lead to a loss of tumor suppressor function, facilitating malignant transformation of cells. Genes analyzed: SMARCB1, SMARCA4.
