PAX3 - paired box 3 Gene
Also Known as WS1; WS3; CDHS; HUP2; PAX-3
Species: Homo sapiens
About PAX3
This gene has 15 transcripts (splice variants), 284 orthologues, 50 paralogues and is associated with 98 phenotypes. Low expression observed in reference dataset.
Summary
This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of the PAX family typically contain a paired box domain and a paired-type homeodomain. These genes play critical roles during fetal development. Mutations in paired box gene 3 are associated with Waardenburg syndrome, craniofacial-deafness-hand syndrome, and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The translocation t(2;13)(q35;q14), which represents a fusion between PAX3 and the forkhead gene, is a frequent finding in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Alternative splicing results in transcripts encoding isoforms with different C-termini. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
