[Detection of SYT-SSX fusion gene in paraffin-embedded tissues and its clinicopathologic significance for synovial sarcoma]..     ///    (1) Detection of SYT-SSX fusion gene in paraffin-embedded tissues was found to be a sensitive and specific method for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of synovial sarcoma.     ///     To investigate the feasibility of detecting SYT-SSX fusion gene in paraffin-embedded tissues and its diagnostic significance for synovial sarcoma (SS).     ///    SYT-SSX fusion transcripts was detected in 33 of the 38 synovial sarcoma specimens.     ///    SYT-SSX fusion transcripts were detected in all samples by RT-PCR.     ///    "In 33 SYT-SSX positive synovial sarcomas, 22 had SYT-SSX1 and 6 had SYT-SSX2 fusion transcripts. "    ///    (2) There was an association between SYT-SSX fusion type and histologic subtype.SYT-SSX2 fusion transcript could only be found in monophasic synovial sarcomas..     ///    SYT-SSX mRNA expression rate reached 89.2% (33/37) in synovial sarcomas after exclusion of 1 case which was negative for both SYT-SSX and PBGD.     ///    No SYT-SSX mRNA expression was found in control tumors.     ///    There was an association between SYT-SSX fusion type and histologic subtype.
