Popis: HOX and TALE transcription factors are important regulators of development and homeostasis in determining cellular identity. Deregulation of this process may drive cancer progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of these transcription factors in the bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) of Fanconi anemia (FA) patients, which is a cancer-predisposing disease. Expression levels of HOX and TALE genes in BM-MSCs were obtained from FA patients and healthy donors by RT-qPCR and highly conserved expression levels were observed between patient and donor cells, except PKNOX2, which is a member of TALE class. PKNOX2 was significantly downregulated in FA cells compared to donors (P
