Title: Advances in the research on correlation between homeobox genes and tumors
Abstract: As master genes during embryogenesis, Homeobox(Hox) genes play important roles not only in embryonic development, cellular growth and differentiation and the expression of the specific genes of some tissue, but also in controlling hematopoietic tissue development and differentiation in a germ line -specific and stage-specific. At present studies showed there is a close relationship between Hox genes and tumorgenesis. This article reviews the advances in the research on correlation between homeobox genes and tumorgenesis.
