CDX1 and neoplasm: There has been research conducted that demonstrate how the loss of CDX1 function is implicated in tumor genesis [28], and studies indicating that CDX1 exerts an inhibitory effect on cellular proliferation by impeding the passage of cells through the G1 phase of the cell cycle [28], which could also indicate that the loss of CDX1 could cause pathological hyperproliferation of fibroblasts and abdominal adhesion band formation.
