PAX8 is a member of the paired box gene family of transcription factors and plays a critical role in the organogenesis of the Müllerian system. In addition, PAX8 has the potential to induce tumorigenesis and is expressed in a tissue specific manner during neoplastic transformation. Previously, several studies reported that PAX8 is expressed at high levels in specific types of tumors. In particular, PAX8 has been recently reported to be conspicuously expressed in human ovarian cancer, but the functional role of PAX8 in the carcinogenesis of this type of tumor has not been addressed. Most patients with a PAX8 mutation demonstrate early thyroid growth defects.This mutations result in impaired DNA binding and loss of transcriptional activity.
