Among the most overexpressed genes in tumor cells compared to normal tissue are genes coding for transcription factors (HOXB9, SIM2, ZIC5, SP8, TFAP2A, FOXE1, HOXB13, and SALL4), cancer testis antigens (CT83), and cytokines activating regulatory Th17 cells (IL23A). Here, HOXB9 is linked to neoplasm.
