Many studies have found that HOXB cluster members are involved in the tumorigenesis or progression of ovarian cancer, including HOXB2 (Yu and Pan, 2020), HOXB3 (Miller et al., 2018), HOXB4 (Li et al., 2018), HOXB7 (Chen et al., 2020), and HOXB8 (Stavnes et al., 2013). This evidence concerns the gene HOXB3 and ovarian carcinoma.
