Overview

Paired box 3 (PAX3) is a gene that encodes a transcription factor protein that regulates fetal development, neural development, myogenesis, cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis. Fusions, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.
