PAX3 paired box 3

ENSG00000135903 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Transcription factor that may regulate cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis. Involved in neural development and myogenesis. Transcriptional activator of MITF, acting synergistically with SOX10 (PubMed:21965087). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16951170, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21965087}.

In 14 of 15 cancers, the evidence for PAX3 comes mainly from mutations found in tumours

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

Tractability

No positive tractability buckets.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.2714099884033203 (upper bound 0.42430999875068665). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.

Who runs trials of these drugs

No named investigators on registry trials of PAX3's approved or late-stage drugs in the last three years.

No terminated, withdrawn or suspended trials of PAX3's drugs are registered

All 0 drugs and clinical candidates as a table

Each drug, stage and indication links to its Open Targets record, where the trials and approvals behind it are listed. Salt forms (for example a mesylate) are listed as Open Targets records them, as separate entries.
