Sixteen different transcription factors (GATA-1 and -2, CDC5, Ebox, HOXA3, MSX-1, MZF1, PAX-2, -5 and -6, PBX-1, PPARalpha, PPARgamma, PU.1, SP1, YY1) are of particular interest with possible link to the DBA and TEC phenotypes (e.g. important for hematopoiesis, implicated in cancer development, strong general transcription factor). Here, HOXA3 is linked to cancer.
