| General description: | PAX-2 is a homeogene strongly expressed during kidney development. PAX-2 gene is expressed in the metanephric mesenchyma after ureter bud induction and is a key factor for the mesenchyma-epithelium conversion. Animals transgenic for PAX-2 have severe renal abnormalities and cysts but no solid tumoral features. The oncogenic potential of the PAX gene family has been reported <em>in vitro</em> with transformation of cell cultures and <em>in vivo</em> with cell injections in nude mice. Gnarra et al. showed PAX-2 expression in renal carcinoma cell lines and underlined its potential role in cell proliferation in these lines.1 Mazal et al. demonstrated PAX-2 nuclear expression in 88% of clear cell renal cell carcinomas as well as 18% of papillary renal cell carcinoma, and 13% of chromophobe renal cell carcinomas.2 More recently, Chivukula et al. demonstrated utility in distinguishing ovarian serous papillary carcinoma (anti-PAX-2 positive) from breast carcinoma (anti-PAX-2 negative).3 | ||||
