Other important GO pathways potentially associated with the development of umbilical hernia include processes associated with the development of embryonic organs and morphogenesis (GO:0048568, GO:0048598, GO:0048562, GO:0009790, GO:0043009), in which HOXA7 and ALX1 genes are also involved, along with TBX1. During development, certain defects or malformations can potentially lead to hernia formation. Here, ALX1 is linked to Umbilical hernia.
