 Synovial sarcomas (SS) are characterized by the t(X;18)(p11;q11) translocation and its resultant fusion gene, SYT-SSX.     ///    "The f-LDR results were compared to XmnI enzyme digestion patterns and sequencing of PCR products, revealing a 100% concordance for all cases of SS with regards to SYT-SSX transcript type. "    ///    "Evaluation of this unique approach in 11 cases of SS without prior knowledge of SYT-SSX status, six cases of control sarcomas (CS) and three hematopoietic cell lines, revealed that the f-LDR technique was rapid, unambiguous, and highly specific. "    ///    Identification of SYT-SSX fusion type is typically accomplished by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) followed by a post-PCR analytic method.     ///    "Thus, detection of the presence and type of SYT-SSX fusion is critical for diagnosis and prognosis in SS. "    ///    "As mRNA nucleotide sequences of the SSX1 and SSX2 segments involved in the SYT-SSX fusion are nearly identical, post-PCR methods must be highly discriminatory.
