Association of bronchopulmonary sequestration with expression of the homeobox protein Hoxb-5

Bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS) is caused by the abnormal development of an accessory lung diverticulum from the foregut very early in embryogenesis. The developmental abnormalities seen with BPS suggest that this anomaly is caused by abnormal expression of homeobox genes, which control axial i...
