Spatio‐temporal expression of <i>HOX</i> genes in human hindgut development
16 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hox genes belong to a highly conserved subgroup of the homeobox gene superfamily. Studies of animal models have emphasized their role in defining the body plan by their coordinated expression along the body axis during ontogeny. Although an important role of HOX genes in human development is assumed, little is known about their expression during human ontogenesis. Therefore, we investigated the...
