Preclinical animal studies that try to use conditionally replicating adenoviruses against such cells are in progress. Epigenetic Therapy for rhabdomyosarcoma is becoming more important. A recent study by Bharathy et al. found that deacetylase inhibitor, entinostat works in aggressive subtype, alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (aRMS) by specifically blocking the activity of HDAC3, thereby preventing epigenetic suppression of a microRNA that inhibits PAX3:FOXO1 translation. These findings and ongoing clinical trials (ADVL1513) shows promise for an effective therapy for some patients with aRMS. See also

This can be distinguished from hereditary orotic aciduria by assessing blood ammonia levels and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). In OTC deficiency, hyperammonemia and decreased BUN are seen because the urea cycle is not functioning properly, but megaloblastic anemia will not occur because pyrimidine synthesis is not affected. In orotic aciduria, the urea cycle is not affected. Orotic aciduria can be diagnosed through genetic sequencing of the UMPS gene. Treatment
Treatment is administration of uridine monophosphate (UMP) or uridine triacetate (which is converted to UMP). These medications will bypass the missing enzyme and provide the body with a source of pyrimidines. References
