Abstract excerpt
The paired-box (PAX) genes encode a family of nine well-characterized paired-box transcription factors, with important roles in development and disease. Although PAX genes are primarily expressed in the embryo, constitutive expression promotes tissue hyperplasia. Rare tumor-specific mutations of PAX genes implicate an oncogenic role, and persistent PAX expression characterizes several tumors. Yet, a cancer-wide...
