[To identify new genes implicated in the block in myogenic differentiation of rhabdomyosarcoma cells and those responsible for their proceeding along the myogenic pathway we used cDNA microarrays to compare gene expression profiles of two clones of the human embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma cell line RD with different myogenic potentials: RD/12, which is unable to differentiate, and RD/18, which shows elements able to terminally differentiate, as defined by the expression of myosin heavy chain (up to 50% of the population) and the formation of multinucleated myotube-like structures.].
