Orderable Test Description
The PAX8 gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. This family plays critical roles during fetal development and cancer growth. PAX8 is involved in kidney cell differentiation, and thyroid development. PAX8 has been shown to be expressed in three of the most common types of renal cell carcinoma including clear cell, chromophobe and papillary carcinoma. PAX8 stains nuclei exclusively and performs well in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues. PAX8 has been shown to be positive in thyroid and ovarian carcinomas.
