Comparative Analysis of Germ Cell Transcription Factors in CNS Germinoma Reveals Diagnostic Utility of NANOG
17 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
The homeodomain transcription factor, NANOG, along with OCT3/4 (POU5F1) and SOX2, is part of the core set of transcription factors that maintain embryonic stem cell self-renewal and pluripotency. Expression of NANOG has been detected in fetal germ cells and in gonadal germ cell tumors. To assess the diagnostic utility of NANOG in central nervous system (CNS) germ cell tumors, we analyzed its expression by...
