PAX8
Overview
Paired box 8 (PAX8) is a gene that encodes a protein that is a transcription factor involved in thyroid follicular cell development and expression of thyroid-specific genes. Missense mutations, silent mutations, nonsense mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as skin cancer, colon cancer, and endometrial cancer.
