Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS: HOXC13 mRNA was positively expressed in all odontogenic epithelium except AF. The positive ratios were 97.9% in AB, 100% in CCOT, 100% in CEOT, 70.0% in KCOT epithelium and 42.9% in the normal oral mucosa. There was significant difference among AB, KCOT and normal mucosa (chi(2)=21.665, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The genesis and development of odontogenic tumors are related to the high expression of HOXC13. The expression of HOXC13 mRNA in the odontogenic lesions has heterogeneity.
