Aberrant expression of homeobox gene <i>HOXA7</i> is associated with müllerian-like differentiation of epithelial ovarian tumors and the generation of a specific autologous antibody response
11 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
Autologous serum antibodies to molecules that are aberrantly expressed in tumors represent potential biomarkers for early diagnosis of cancer. In this study, we identified the homeobox gene HOXA7 as encoding an antigen in epithelial tumors of the ovary. These tumors are thought to arise from the simple epithelium lining the ovarian surface, but they often resemble the specialized epithelia derived from the...
