The Role of <i>HOX</i> Homeobox Genes in Normal and Leukemic Hematopoiesis
1 May 1996
Abstract excerpt
A sizable amount of new data points to a role for the HOX family of homeobox genes in hematopoiesis. Recent studies have demonstrated that HOXA and HOXB genes are expressed in human CD34+ cells, and are downregulated as cells leave the CD34+ compartment. In addition, expression of certain genes, including HOXB3 and HOXB4, is largely restricted to the long-term culture-initiating cell enriched pool, containing the...
