NCIt definition : Human SOX8 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 16p13.3 and is approximately
5 kb in length. This allele, which encodes transcription factor SOX-8 protein, plays
a role in both embryonic development and the positive regulation of transcription.;
NCIt note : The methylation status of the SOX8 gene in breast cancer may be associated with a
higher metastatic potential. (Sci. Transl. Med. 2011; 3. DOI: 10.1126/scitranslmed.3001875.);
