However, with downregulation of PGC- (PRDM1, TFAP2C, cKIT) and pluripotency (NANOG, OCT3/4, LIN28) marker genes, persisting SOX17 expression together with activation of the Hippo pathway resulted in differentiation into a mixed non-seminoma with predominant choriocarcinoma-like components [47]. The gene discussed is NANOG; the disease is choriocarcinoma.
