FKHR gene was first identified by virtue of its fusion to the PAX3 gene in the t(2;13) translocation found in the pediatric soft tissue tumor alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma . FKHR gene encodes for a protein containing a DNA-binding motif shared with members of the HNF-3:forkhead family of transcription factors. The protein acts as a potential Akt nuclear target in metabolic and survival pathways. The protein may also play a role in myogenic growth and differentiation. Human FKHR gene is usually localized in the chromosomal region 13q14.1.
